Re: Debian install cannot find ATA 66 hard drive
You will likely need to get the ide patches and build a rescue disk with a
custom kernel.
ide patches can be found at
ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick
I don't know why Debian does not provide them with their kernel.
patches for kernels older than 2.2.15-pre* can be found in the old/
subdir.
