This makes me nervous - your ide config sounds very similar to mine
The problem may not exist with an install from CDs. I have the 9.1
tree but not the ISOs. I plan now to run 9.1 mkcd from the tree to
produce 9.1 ISO files, burn them to CD-RW and try to install from CD and
announce the result here. Note that my downloaded 9.1 tree (see
sig below) is non-standard by not including any non-English locales or
RPMs. This does not give the 9.1 hd.img installer any problem.
Thanks for that Ron
Seems to me it does not recognise any IDE disk channels.
9.0 recognises them all.
Show stopper for me.
I can now report exactly the same problem with an hd.img install attempt from a virgin 9.1 tree (ie nothing excluded).
Alt F1 and Alt F3 at the "No DISK drives" message confirm that only IDE0 and IDE1 were detected. This may be a devfs problem?
Time for Mandrake to acknowledge and produce a fix for this 9.1 show stopper.
