Back in Ubuntu again after another unsuccessful install-round with
Debian. Tried again, a little sooner as expected. Seems i like Debian
and really want it back on my system. What i tried is:
--------
daily netinstall and use lilo instead of grub ...
crash while loading the kernel an dropped in an initramfs prompt. Again
with the ide-0 and ide-1 are busy messages. A lot more text.
LILO 22.8 Loading

Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel.

When i try to install Debian my two ATA hard disks are recognized as
/dev/sdf and /dev/sdg. When i use lilo udev makes only /dev/sda /dev/sdb
and /dev/sdc block-devices. Next time i will try to install Debian i
will try to use.
append="idebus=66 pci=routeirq libata.atapi_enabled=1 all-generic-ide"
----------
etch install ...
no ATA disk found.
----------
etch install generic.all_generic_ide=1
some kind of kernel OOPS when loading the installer; at least it looks a
lot like that, did not continue. Seems every device is recognized as ATA
device; also my SATA DVD writer and SATA hard disk. Here is the dmesg
output which i could catch:

As you can see in line 13 of this output, the IDE controller does not
get recognized.
=========Change setting in the BIOS -> Advanced -> ATA/IDE Mode ->
changed Legacy into Native
-----------
daily netinstall
no ATA disk found
-----------
daily netinstall generic.all_generic_ide=1
some kind of kernel OOPS when loading the installer; did not continue.
Very strange, because i am back on Ubuntu on the same disk with the same
BIOS disk settings as i used to try to install Debian.
