This seems to be at the hardware level, not partitioning or anything. There are some kernel options that can be passed for ide: hda=noprobe ide0=dma There are others, looking at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ide.txt, but these seemed the most appropriate. If we're not picking anything up for ide0/hda in dmesg, then all bets are off to continue the install. Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/PPC/FAQ/
