Hi I tried installing 8.2 on my shiny new Promise Ultra100 TX2 card, which uses the PDC20268 chip. It hangs at the detecting partitions stage. I think this may have been fixed in the -ac series, with patches from Promise themselves.
So my question is, how do I go about installing 8.2 on my machine? Should I try making a boot CD with a newer kernel? Presumably I'd have to make a new El Torito image. What are the proper steps for this? Or is there a way to make a boot floppy with the kernel of my choice and then continue the install from the CDROM? If the worst comes to the worst, I can try upgrading my 8.1 installation, getting the card working there, and then copying stuff to the new disks, but I'd rather make a clean break from what is, at this stage, a well "customized" installation :) Nick
