[newbie] Mandrake does not detect IDE devices on motherboard

2002-11-28 Thread Nikunj Bansal
Hi all, I recently upgraded the motherboard and the CPU on my PC and am unable to use or install Mandrake (tried versions 8.2 and 9.0) after that. On the other hand, the previous RedHat 9.0 install on another partition on the same PC works fine as well as RedHat 9.0 Install CD works fine too.
