Hello I have an installation related problem with debian 3(Woody). I am
totally new to linux
and have probably done something stupid ,but very early in the installation
process the installer hangs. My machine has a Pentium 4, an Intel D915G
motherboard,1 hard disk and a CDROM .
The last few lines of output from the installer:
PCI_IDE unknown IDE controller on PCI bus
00
device f9 VID=8086,DID=266f PCI_IDE not 100% native mode : will probe IRQS later ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa0 - 0xffa7, BIOS settings: hda: DMA , hdb: PIO ide1: BM-DMA at 0xffa8 - 0xffaf, BIOS settings: hdc: PIO ,hdd: PIO PCI_IDE: unknown controller on PCI bus 00 device fa,VID=8086,DID=2651 PCI_IDE: 100% native mode on irq 10 ide2:

CDROM DRIVE
hde: ST380013AS ATA Disk Drive ide0 at 0x1f0 - 0x1f7,0x3f6 on IRQ 14 MACHINE HANGS.
I have tried to install using the old 2.4 core and this is almost sucessful. A warning appears towards the end ot the installation:
" Virtual device mapping
Your first IDE hard disk is not connected as the primary master device (/dev/hda). To get around this most BIOS setups enable emulation so that the first disk is seen as IDE-0 in the boot environment. This emulation cannot be detected by Linux or LILO. However,we can define /dev/hde as the first hard disk in the LILO configuration to allow LILO to take advantage of the emulation. Would you like to enable the mapping?" When I finally boot the 2.4 core, I get a barrage of interrupts like
this:
"unexpected interrupt ide2 status=0xd0
count =371"
The real device at hde2(which seems to be a DMA device from the installer
screen info)
seems to be generating interrupts that aren't trapped but, linux thinks hde2 is my swap partition. Why does linux set my hard disk to hde and not hda? And is there anything I can do about it? Any help gratefully accepted
