Yes I have tried the 2.4 and the 2.6 kernel. I also tried the
experimental Images but all show the same result. As soon as it comes to
partitioning of the hard disk the installation routine tells that there
is no hard disk available.
I will probably have to recompile the kernel for my notebook. Is there a
good description of how to do this and how do I build a installation
image out of this?
