udma100 asus a7v not found ["lhomer" <lhomer@teleport.com>] Re: Fw: [PLUG] hopeful new Linux recruit

--- Begin Message --- 
My small problem has been solved. Thank you for all the help and support. I
am now able to install and run off a hard drive
although the installation named the drive "hdg", and I can't boot from that
drive just yet..I also can no longer see it in a windows directory..small
matters. Apparently my board is just strange enough so that even Suse 7.0
can't recognize the drives on my board. I found a recent fix on the Suse
site that worked. I would like to get back to using Debian. Do these fixes
usually propagate to other installations very rapidly?
