Machine: Dell 8400 Processor: 3.2Ghz P4 Memory: 1Gb Partitions: (df -Tl N/A in install ash shell) No working linux available Output of lspci and lspci -n: N/A in install ash shell No working linux available Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [E] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: At "Detect and mount CD-ROM", MUST remove module "ata_piix" from list, or the CD-ROM is not detected at all if this driver is loaded: ata_piix (Intel Corporation I/O Controller Hub SATA cc=raid). Note that "CD-ROM" is really DVD-ROM, also have DVD+RW as 2nd optical drive. Disk scan for Partitioning finds only external USB2.0 IDE HDD. Internal SATA HDD is not detected at all. Adaptec AHA-2930CU SCSI card with attached Jaz-2GB and ZIP-250 drives is not detected at all (or at least never mentioned). Tried expert26, same problems, can never see internal SATA HDD. Note: Will try to install on external USB HDD, but I suspect the device names generated will be wrong. Will report back on that effort. Note 2: Latest GParted (0.3.4) LiveCD sees both USB and SATA HDD's no problem. I may use GParted for partitioning before install. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't get soaked.
