Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2r0 and possible later

Thesse bug reports seems to have a common theme:

  #79459: UDMA66/HPT370 boot problem
  #79005: Booting with Promise ultra100
  #73638: Cannot detect hard disk (hda)
  #70798: Install doesn't find UDMA 66 harddisk

in that udma{66,100} controllers do not work with udma66 boot floppies.

Workaround as in http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot-0012/msg00539.html:=

    To install debian potato on an abit kt7-raid motherboard:
    (well, this is what I roughly did)

   1  Connect your disk to the first ide controller,
      not to the HTP370 controller
   2  I used the debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/
      2.2.20.0.1-2000-12-03/images-1.44/idepci disk set
   3  boot and install as usual
   4  download and unpack kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.18.tar.gz
   5  download and apply patch kernel/people/hedrick/
      ide.2.2.18.1209.patch.gz
   6  make menuconfig -> Block devices:
	 [*]    Generic PCI IDE chipset support
	 ...
	 [*]      HPT366 chipset support
      Don't know about theese two but they seem to work for me
	 [*]        HPT366 Fast Interrupt support (WIP)
	 [*]        HPT366 mode three unsupported (WIP)
      (Note! this driver has no raid support, you just get the udma100
       support and two more controllers, only connect discs to hpt
       controller)
      and whatever else you want in the kernel
   7  make dep; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install
   8  cp arch/.../bzImage System.map to /boot
   9  add new image to lilo.conf with root=3D/dev/hdexx instead of hda
  10  run lilo
  11  change hda to hde in /etc/fstab
  12  shutdown -h now
  13  poweroff
  14  move disk cable to first HPT370 connector
  15  boot

  Regards,
  /Karl

Current *-ide kernels seems to work according to
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot-0101/msg00387.html:

  I just tested the 2.2.17-ide and 2.2.18-ide kernels and they both dete=
ct
  a HPT370 chip

Thank you very much for your bug report.  We believe the issue you
reported is solved as of boot-floppies 2.3.1.  That is the woody
version of boot-floppies, which is available in the archive, or, some
SPARC and i386, at
<URL:http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/>.

If you feel your bug is still outstanding, please let us know or
reopen your bug -- see <http://www.debian.org/Bugs/> for instructions
how to do that.

We are not longer working on Potato boot-floppies, except for critical
issues.  If you feel that your bug hasn't been fixed as of
boot-floppies 2.2.22 (the latest Potato version), then you we need to
reopen your bug and put the 'potato' tag on it.  Please be sparing --
the more we are distracted with Potato issues, the less effort we are
able to put into Woody boot-floppies.

Again, thanks for your report.  Bug reports are a significant
contribution to Debian. We apologize that it probably took so long to
fix the issue you reported.
