Problem installing Potato: can't find HD



Hello,

	I am having trouble installing Debian 2.2 on my PC. I have a 3CD
i386 binary set, which when I boot from the first CD -- doesn't see my
hard-drive and thinks I'm doing a diskless install. Current config:

Abit KA7-100 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 750
256MB PC133 RAM
Seagate ST320420A (20GB) HD  on  Highpoint HPT370 UDMA100 Controller
Plextor PX-W8432T CD-RW
WinFast GeForce 256 DDR AGP video card
Netgear FA310TX 10/100 PCI ethernet card
Soundblaster PCI 128
Askey 28.8 (V.34) ISA Modem

	That's probably more information than necessary, but what the hey!
I have a feeling that the stock kernel doesn't have support for the
Highpoint controller since it's kind of on the new side... but let me
know if this is the problem and what the workaround is.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Joe Nahmias

PS - If you have any pointers or suggestions to get the rest of my
	hardware up and running under linux, it would be appreciated!
