Adding new hardware to existing system
I am new to debian and looking for some help. I have been practicing with
debian installs also adding new hardware to existing systems. I tried
adding a new nic and a harddrive to a system. I could not get either to
work. When I take the beta 4 sarge install disk and run the install it
detects both pieces and they work, but if the unit was built with the same
cd and then add the hardware it does not work. What steps should be taken
to add a new piece of hardware like a nic card and or hard drive for it to
be detected. I used a fedora system and it detected it just fine. When i
installed the hard drive I did a fdisk /dev/hdc and it did not work said
no device Any help would be appreciated.
