Re: Installing Debian with ATA100
im having a similar problem but im wanting to use debian on a ATA100 drive
my specs:
asus a7v mainboard
duron 800 processor
ibm ata100 30gb hdd
debian just wont recognise the hard drive for a install
adding the experimental promise ata100 support under kernel 2.4 didnt seem
to make any difference
