Greetings all,
I am having a little problem installing the beta of 7.1.. here is the
deal.. when I installed
7.0 i simply passed the info on the boot prompt for my promise controller
which had
my ata/66 hard drive on it, and everything went fine (the install could
write to
hard drive), then I patched kernel, recompiled, and voila I had ata/66
support..
easy as pie really..
This was a while back and maybe I forgot how to do it correctly? but this
is what I am
trying to do again, but when it gets to the hard disk configuration in
install it says can't
find any devices to install on.. here is what I am doing.. first off I will
paste the info
from /proc/pci
--
Unknown mass storage controller: Promise Technology IDE UltraDMA/66 (rev
1).
Medium devsel. IRQ 9. Master Capable. Latency=64.
I/O at 0xa400 [0xa401].
I/O at 0xa800 [0xa801].
I/O at 0xac00 [0xac01].
I/O at 0xb000 [0xb001].
I/O at 0xb400 [0xb401].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf0000000 [0xf0000000].
ok with that information I type this at the boot prompt before install:
linux ide2=0xa400,0xa800 # I just have one 28.5 g drive as master.
well this doesn't seem to work.. anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?
I want to
install 7.1, but can't!! any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated..
thanks in advance for any help.
