Comments/Problems:
Unable to mount CD-ROM. I see in the console logging (alt-F4) that the IDE
controller is found, but no devices connected are reported (harddisk and
CD-ROM). So I am not able to find the CD-ROM drive or the harddisk.
hw-detect reports missing modules: ide-mod, ide-probe-mod, ide-detect,
ide-floppy
After that I tried to load only the ide-generic and ide-disk module in
'expert' mode and this worked. The problem was maybe the PIIX module that
should not be loaded on my system.
After reboot I see in the kernel messages that my IDE controller is accessed
using DMA. Since this older hardware (1994), this certainly does not work. I
added the boot-option 'ide=nodma' in GRUB and this worked.
base-config ran
Congratulations on the dutch translation team: excellent job !!
