Hi, I have an ASUS A7V133 with PDC20265 on-board IDE as well as the standard on-board VIA controller. I am trying to install Debian potato 2.2r3. I need to get it to install from the on-board Promise IDE controller. I tried using the boot: parameter with these parameters, which I retrieved from Windows 98 device manager resources: boot: linux ide2=0xA000, 0x9802 ide3=0x9400, 0x9002 but this didn't work. When it reached the first few screens in the Debian installed it said that I didn't have any valid devices to install to. I went to a shell and looked at /proc/pci. I looked fine as far as I know. It showed an "unknown mass storage device" and said "unknown promise device". It also had the same addresses which I gave above as the boot parameter. Is there anything else I need to do? I used http://www.geocities.com/ender7007/ as a guide. But I need more help. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks, David Grant Please cc: to
