I apologize for not posting this added information right after I found out. I *had* Red Hat working on the system, but then (I think this was after several successful boot-ups) it no longer worked: when I selected the 'Red Hat' item from among those on the boot menu, it told me it couldn't find it or something. I think that this happened before I actually ran the Debian installation CD--so I don't think it was Debian's fault, as it were.
Anyway, I've been trying to re-install Red Hat, thinking that perhaps I could figure out where *it* was seeing the hard drive--but now Red Hat won't install either! It give me a similar error in a little okay box or something, and then reboots my machine! So anyway, I don't think it's a problem with the Debian install. Looks like more fun for me. This box appears to be having some odd hardware issues, anyway--we've got two here, and the other one seems normal, but this one doesn't bring up the BIOS prompt at the start--after quite a long wait, it just boots right into the Itanium logo screen. Maybe I'll try and contact HP's support folks. Anyway, thanks very much for your prompt response! --Daniel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) On Thu, Aug 16, 2001 at 03:07:25PM -0600, Bdale Garbee wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Daniel Farnsworth Teichert) writes: > > > If I try to 'Partition a Hard Disk', it tells me 'No hard disk drives > > could be found.' > > Boy, that's really odd.
