This line of your message has me confused:
> I'Will WO2 onboard controller
When you get the I/O from Windows it leaves out part of the #
My fault for not mentioning it before.
To be sure you are using the proper values, boot the Mandrake installation
and at the
splash screen press F1.
At the boot prompt enter:
lspci -vv | less
Use the space bar to tab down to find the listing for your Promise
controller.
You will find 5 sets of heximal # stings giving the I/O address for the
card.
Write down the first 4, (a,b,c, and d) you also need only the the first
listing in each
set not both.
Reboot your system.
When the installation begins enter the I/O adresses for the controller using
the formula:
linux ide2=a, b+2 ise3=c, d+2
The spaces and comas must be used
linux(space)ide2=a,(space)b+2(space)ide3=c,(space)d+2
