Still having trouble with the drive. I don't have a install disk, I have
a CD burned with the ISO image. I do remember reading somewhere about
that the 2.2.x kernels still don't support ATA66 controllers yet, it's
being worked on in 2.3, so won't come out till 2.4 or something like that?
I mean, the kernel is probably detecting the EIDE controller that's on the
motherboard which does not have any HD plugged into it. There's only one
drive plugged into a Promise Tech ATA66 controller which is a PCI card.
Any comments, suggestions....?
