Re: kernel 2.4.8 doesn´t recognize a 80GB disk

I´ve recently bought a seagate ST380011A 80GB ( 7200 rpm ) and installed
it in my AMD K7 ( Athlon ) 2.0 GHz and re-installed debian pre3.0 ( hsu
from june 2002 ) using the bf24 option - kernel 2.4.8 - but it didn´t
recognize the disk partitions. Actually, linux identifies the HD but
tries to access the partitions again and again until it gives up. I
tried all hd jumper setting and BIOS setting and got the same result :
nothing.
Did you format and partition it first?
But when i use the vanilla kernel - 2.2.20 i think - it runs
flawlessly... but with no 2.4 feature ( no sound support for an instance
) needless to say it makes me REALLY unhappy.
Any bit of advice will be appreciated.
Thank you
The specifications of the box were described, the HD is attached as
master and a CDROM as slave on ide0 ( from where it reads the
installation CD )
