Hi, Trying to install Debian 2.2 on my new system which has the main hard drive connected to a Promise Ultra 100 connector. Problem ofcourse is that when I boot from the Debian CD, the promise controller and hard drive are not detected.
So I created a boot disk with the 2.2.17 kernel and the Promise patches applied. This works, I can boot with the boot disk, and I see that the controller and harddisk are detected (hde, lol !), BUT, now I want to proceed installing from the debian CD. So how can I get my system to boot from the bootdisk I created, and then proceed with the normal setup from the Debian binary #1 CD ? I tried stuff like root=/dev/hdc in the /etc/lilo.conf on the disk, but that didn't work. I think I need to load /install/root.bin on the CD, but how ? Any ideas ? Thanks ! Jasper PS. I know I can put my HD on the normal controller, and put it back after installation, but I don't want that.
