Actually Ultra66 will work f
I'm pretty sure that having no harddrive's configured in bios is a problem, but
to
get the disks, go to:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/disks-1.44/
This assumes you are using 3.5" drive. I actually did an install of potato
with the
disks, it sucks... Thats a l
The latest build of the potato boot disks can be found at:
http://lully.debian.org/~aph/bf-2.2.6-i386/
they use the 2.2.14 kernel and, given that they are a work in progress,
you can expect a few problems to crop up with them.
You may also want to check out the "Incoming" directory of yo

Yes, that helps... change the primary and master and slave to "auto"
or, better yet, if your bios has it, use the "autoconfigure harddisks"
option. That will try to figure out what you have, and then set things
accordingly, that saves a few bootup seconds later on :). Oh, it will
ask you what mod
Also, I just went to my BIOS and took a look at the IDE info:
IDE Controller [Both]
HD Delay 6 seconds
Primary IDE Master [None]
Primary IDE Slave [None]
Secondary IDE Master [My DVD...]
Secondary IDE Slave [My Burner...]
I dunno if that helps.

I have had one experience somewhat like yours. I failed with Redhat and
Debian. I had a hardware problem in the IDE controller. I moved my harddisk
onto the second controller and told the BIOS to look there for the boot disk.
That cured it.
Is the disk bad? Did the system ever have windows on
It's an IDE

Is it a scsi harddrive? Its possible that the boot disk you have does
not have support for whatever scsi card you are using If you don't
know, boot into windows, and go to the device manager (right click on my
computer, go to properties, click on devices tab) and see if there is a
scsi entry,
I'd like to apologize for sending out the
same question again, but nothing thus far has worked. Here is my problem,
in detail: I have attempted to install RedHat, TurboLinux, and now I'm on
Debian. None of these have I been able to install. On every single
one of them, as I am doing
