Bad news - 9.1 Show-Stopper!
On my machine with a Soltek motherboard and an add-on PCI Promise IDE2&3 controller 9.1 installs from hd.img and the 9.1 tree faultlessly.
On my other machine with a Gigabyte motherboard with integrated Promise controller Installing 9.1 from an hd.img floppy immediately says "No DISK drive!"
Just as a counter-point, both my machines have 9.1 *as upgrades* from 9.0. This machine has the HDs on IDE2 and IDE3; the SMP box @ work has them on IDE2 and IDE4. So it *does* work on some configurations!
M/Bs are MSI 694D (with a Promise 2 channel PCI card add-in); ASUSWhy would you so conclude, when I stated that 9.0 installs and runs perfectly?
A7V133 with the on board Promise RAID/IDE set to IDE. So it smells like
a Gigabyte M/B problem..

It is therefore a Mandrake problem.
