Hi, I was trying to install Mandrake v7.1 but the boot disk I created using cdrom.img failed to detect the DPT RAID card, when I select the EATA DMA driver. I have also tried all the other drives and it still won't get detected. I have tried to use the expert mode and detect EATA DMA driver at the SCSI installation page but it still can detect. I have also tried to specify additiona options: eata_dma.o io=0xff90 irq=9 and just io=0xff90 irq=9 It still cannot be detected. However, Mandrake version 6.0 boot disk have no troble at all; all I need is to select EATA DMA and use autoprope. I spend a few weeks to convince my boss to use Linux. When he finally gives the OK, I'm faced with this problem... :-( Can someone please help? Thanks Oh, my system only has the DTP Raid controller. I do not have any IDE harddisk.
