Hmmm... I've never had a problem detecting an IDE drive, but I've never seen a Pentium II system up close. Dale, do you have any ideas? Could there be a driver incompatibility with the new Pentium II motherboards? I have not yet heard any examples of people running Linux on Pentium II systems. Hasib, I suggest that you search through the newsgroups comp.os.linux.hardware and/or comp.os.linux.setup, comp.os.linux.misc for references to Pentium II systems, and see if there is any useful info. Thanks.
