Re: Debian Install CD doesn't recognize my hard drive

Thanks for your continued help. Here are the results of the those 
three commands/files (all of which are the result of booting off of 
the Xandros rescue floppy, with kernel 2.4.22-x1):

/etc/lilo.conf:

boot=/dev/hda
install=/boot/cboot.b
message=/boot/splash.lilo

        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.4-1-686.gz
        append="rw acpi=on "
