Thanks - Re: hard drive NOT found during install!

[Waheed Islam <wislam@wislam.co.uk>]

Thanks for the help and research dude.

I've already tried the UDMA66 and IDEPCI flavors of Debian, unfortunately, 
no success.

I'll probably get a friend or someone to compile the "drivers" supplied by 
ACard and see what I can make of it.
If that doesn't work, I think I'll have to sell this card on and buy one 
which is listed as being supported by Debian / Linux.

Thanks,
