Troubles with kernel
Hello Dave,
(ref. Debian Linux install) Things to check for:
1) can the BIOS directly support IDE? Can you select type 47 hard drives
in the BIOS setup? If so, you will need to make an entry for your drive
using the parameters shown by Linux.
2) is the controller replaceable? If so, you might want to spend $20 and
get a cheap, but newer technology type IDE controller.
Lastly, make sure the drive is jumpered for AT class of operation. The
'X/A' at the end of the drive model number indicates that the drive will
operate in either XT or AT mode. There is a big difference between XT
and AT operation on an IDE bus!
