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

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.
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

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.

get the disks, go to:
