the last tab of the properties ("ressources" in french), make a note
of the four first I/O addresses (for example, i have 9000,8800,8400
and 8000).
Note: you can use lspci to get this io information.
Then, you can boot with the LM 7.2 CD.
At boot, press F1, and choose the "expert" mode with parameters. With
my I/O addresses, I used:
"expert ide2=0x9000,0x8802 ide3=0x8400,0x8002"
(you add 2 for the 2nd and 4th i/o adress).
Now your hd is detected, and you can install Linux.
The last thing to do is to put these parameters in the "append" line
of the lilo configuration (or GRUB's 'menu.lst')
It worked fine for me and I really hope it'll be the same for
everybody ! "

Thank you very much, I'll give that a try in the morning or evening for you normal
people, I apreciate it! and hopefully I can get linux up and running again pretty
quick here.
My ambition is to someday be able to get rid of everything to do with windows, and
have a pure linux box, but for some reason, I keep running into some game or bit of
hardware that is made for windows, so I end up with something from redmond no matter
whatit's a pain

[expert] new install
Hello, recently decided to get back into linux,work supplied system was ONLY w98, but slapped together a new system for home, and pulled out the old mandrake 7.0, (have 7.2 here, but like 7.0 better for some reason) and started the install, but ran into a problem, that I was hoping someone would be able to help me out with, or point me in the right direction to start digging. My system: AMd 9000 tbird, 128 megs ram,rage fury pro video, on an Asus A7V133 motherboard with onboard promise ATA 100 controller. (I think that's the trouble) Both hard drives are on the ATA, a cd rom, and ls120 are on the standard IDE controller, haven't realy had a chance to reconfigure to see if it will install when the drives are on the normal controller, and I traded off the scuzzy drives a short while ago so that's out, and the only thing on the 2930 is a cdr. Should the drives be run ON the standard on-board controller? and if so what mods would I have to make (kernel or system) to make it be able to access the drives on the ata100? ,surprisingly windows has no trouble with it) I am comfortable with linux, as far as operating and setting it up, I grew up on the command line, so I'd be able to handle any configuration that needed done, but I don't realy feel comfortable messing with the kernel, I've never had reason to do it before, as the 'stock' kernels have always performed flawlessly for me. __ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/
