I've got a Pentium 100 that I'm using now and have 7.2 on it, but I got an Abit board (would that be an issue - as it also sports an 100mhz ide bus (raid-capable too) and an Athlon 1 gighz processor over the weekend. I have yet to put it together, but my plans are to move my existing drives over to the new system, so it won't be an installation. Is it safe (I already built 2.4.2 based on the hardware I purchased) to attempt to run off of the 100mhz bus or should I play it safe? I have one drive that 's ATA-100 and the other one is an older ATA-33. The other potential issue is that my boot drive is actually /dev/hda, which happens to be the old ATA-33 drive, although everything else is on the newer ata-100 drive (/dev/hdb). It doesn't seem possible to just put one drive on the ata-33 controller and the other one on the ata-100 controller and have everything sort itself out. PS this is a bit off topic but putting that heat sink on the athlon (retail boxed cpu) is a pain in the %%. :( I got one clip on the socket and it requires a lot of pressure to push down the other end of the retaining clip - seems I'm doing something wrong because I'm pushing down like crazy and I can't get it to go... ;( Steve- - David E.

Michael; Mandrake 7.2 doesn't run properly on the ata100 on the ASUS A7V board just yet. I'm running that board on this system. 8.0 may support it, but since it's still a Beta product, don't expect it to run properly yet. Use the standard IDE interfaces for now. Apparently there is a way to make it work on 7.2 but even so it's still "buggy". Try installing your O/S using the stabdard interface, and then switching to the ata100 interface afterwards. michael wrote: With primary ata100 cable connected to both hd's 7.2 won't install, and 8.0 only gets half way thru the second disk.

Re: [newbie] can 't install on ASUS A7V133
Hi Dan, Kindly advise : Use the standard IDE interfaces for now. Apparently there is a way to make it work on 7.2 but even so it's still "buggy". Is it using IDE cable for ATA33/ATA66 to connect the ATA100 hard disc first before installation ? Try installing your O/S using the stabdard interface, and then switching to the ata100 interface afterwards. Is it after installing Mandrake 7.2 then changing the IDE (ATA33/ATA66) cable to ATA100 cable ? Can Linux ran properly afterwards Thanks in advance.

Re: [newbie] can 't install on ASUS A7V133
What if you add the idedma (or is it dma) switch to the kernel boot sequence. ie. idedma=100. I know that under LM 7.2, as it is booting, it says something like "assuming 33Mhz IDE, use XXX switch to change it". - Original Message - From: "Dan LaBine" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 5:23 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] can 't install on ASUS A7V133 Michael; Mandrake 7.2 doesn't run properly on the ata100 on the ASUS A7V board just yet.

As you have found there is a problem with the installer and an onboard Promise controller. Here is what will work on most systems. At the installation splash screen press F1 and at the boot prompt (it will be at the bottom of the screen) enter the following: lspci -vv | less use the space bar to scroll down until you find your Promise controller. You will see 5 heximal number strings showing the I/Os for the controller, write down the first 4 sets (call them a,b,c,and d). Reboot your system. At the installation splash screen press F1 and at the boot prompt enter: linux ide2=0x8400, 0x8002 ide3=0x7800, 0x74002 (These are from my system you will need to enter those from yours). The formula to use is ide2=a, (b+2) ide3=c (d+2). If there are no other problems the installation should then run. Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow.
