I've been thinking about how the kernel and kernel modules stuff could

The requirements:

Thesse bug reports seems to have a common theme:
#79459: UDMA66/HPT370 boot problem
#79005: Booting with Promise ultra100
#73638: Cannot detect hard disk (hda)
#70798: Install doesn't find UDMA 66 harddisk
in that udma{66,100} co
Bug report #82018 filed.
Btw. an ATA100 channel is just an ide bus connected to an udma 100
controller.

There's a minor typo in the install doc (web page, etc.)
At the end of the section "Installing from a Linux Partition", the direction
is to skip down to "Booting the Installation System, Chapter 6", which is the
current chapter.

Any comments on this yet ?
The more I think of it, the more I like the idea of multiple kernels
available on CD1. Maybe it's a minor point, but just having one decision
(which kernel to choose) is better IMHO than figuring out which CD to boot
from, then switching CDs etc. Even then, the disk

Where does this lead us? Are you saying the HPT370 problems should be
fixed as of 2.2.18-ide (as opposed to 2.2.18pre21-ide which we are
using now)?

I think I may have filed the bugs already. The relevant packges are:
kernel-image-2.2.18pre21-compact
kernel-image-2.2.18pre21
Ive got a quick question for everyone. I've compiled the 2.2.18 kernel with
the DAC960 included. The disks boots fine, the drives are recognized and I
can partittion them, but I when I go to install the rescue disk. It fails to
mount, i've also tried doing a network install of the rescue.bin, etc

Udebs don't conflict, but udpkg doesn't care if one package overwrites a
file in another package.

You're not exactly clear. The remedy for this bug (and the others
mentioned) is simply to use the kernel-image-2.2.18-ide package rather
than kernel-image-2.2.18pre21-ide ?
