Re: hard drive NOT found during install!
Thanks for the suggestion,
I didn't even notice the bf2.4 flavour of woody.
Anyway, I tried it, unfortunately it didn't work.
I would have thought that by 2.4.18 that they would include support for the
AEC6280.
The kernel-config said that it supported aec62xx, I guess 80 doesn't come
in that range.
I've done a quick install of debian on a friends laptop and will compile
the drivers which are available from acard, and see how it turns out.
Thanks for the help,
but if you have anymore suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Hi,
Could you PLEASE help!
during installation...
my ide controller card is not being recognised by both, potato and woody.
It's an Acard AEC6280 Controller (no RAID, includes BIOS).
This is a just a guess, since I don't have access to that controller, BUT
you just "might' get lucky with the "bf4" flavor of boot floppies from
"testing" / Woody. This particuar set has been built around the 2.4.18
kernel, and they just might have included support for that
controller...dunno. In any case, you will know rather quickly when you
put in the "boot" disk... the messages will tell you if it found it or
not. If it is found, you can proceed with the rest of the install.
I would recommend concentrating on Woody and give up on Potato. The
changes needed to run a 2.4.X kernel are just too great to make on install
media, IMHO (unless you are a real guru). Woody is about to be released
as "stable" quite soon, so you probably are NOT giving up much stability,
and you will gain quite a lot in flexibility, IMHO.
Cheers & Good Luck!
