I know, this might be silly, but just to make absolutely sure: Did you set the master/slave jumpers correctly?

There's not much point in trying to install Linux to a drive that isn't recognised by the BIOS, you'd better get that sorted first. The HD light being on constantly could indicate a faulty drive or the cable being connected the wrong way around. As someone else already mentioned, setting the drive to slave mode when there is no master may also give problems; try setting it to master or (if present) single mode (in which case, when it works, it will have to be accessed as /dev/hdc).

Re: how to format mySeagate ST33210A
Jumping in the middle here, so pardon me if I'm way off. Is your Seagate ST33210A an IDE drive? Yes That makes it easier for me. I know a bit about IDE, but nothing about SCSI. Debian 1.0? I'm going to assume you mean 2.0, in which case I have the same disks... No, I labeled them Debian 1.0 when I created them. I might have mislabeled them, though. If they are really Debian 1.0, I would really suggest getting a newer Debian! The first Debian I saw was 1.3, so I don't even know 1.0. No, I see that the dmesg report doesn't see the drive, and the BIOS doesn't detect it, either. I also notice that the HDD light on my generic (Kenitec) case stays constantly lit when the new drive is installed. I don't know what to do about it, though. If I recall correctly, the discussion mentioned looking for a /dev/hdd. If it is set to slave, hooked to your secondary IDE controller and has power, I don't know what to say. It almost sounds like a hardware thing since the BIOS doesn't detect it. If there is no master on the secondary IDE controller, the drive may not be willing to run as a slave to an invisible master. If you can run without the CD-ROM temporarily, how about setting the Seagate as primary slave in place of the CD-ROM which is now /dev/hdb I'll give that a try - I seldom use the CD anyway (sounds not working either). If you try setting it as slave, hooking it up in place of your CD-ROM, and it still doesn't work, I would begin to wonder about the drive! Hope this helps, Patrick

I think I put it on the primary and installed windoze on it first as I have had bad experiences of installing that over linux. I guess the unresolved symbol probably means that ur executing the dynamically linked binary but /lib is ur ramdisk, thus the lib is not correct (maybe ur using glibc2.1 with a slink bootdisk?).
