Bug#259017: IDE hard-drive not being detected
Package: installation-reports
A friend of mine just tried to install sarge from floppies, both beta4
and daily build, into a Pentium II (Deschutes).
He could not finish the installation because his hard drive could not be
detected, the /dev/ide directory was empty.
After asking on IRC, I told him to try with the "unstable" installer
instead of "testing", but it did not make any difference. He was using
ftp.us.debian.org as mirror.
He then installed woody, and it worked fine.
This is the lspci after a woody install:
