Hi all... here to report a problem... On Mandrake 9.0, my Asus P4B533-E refused to install from the CDROM (and yes, they're known good CDROMs - I installed them on other machines). After loading and detecting the hard drive on the ATA133 controller, the CDROM drives suddenly disappeared and could no longer be accessed. Any attempt would be met with "No valid CDROM device found."
Just downloaded and burned ISOs of 9.1b3. Everything seems to go fine in the install after picking the languages and whatnot... then it asks if I have any scsi interfaces on the system. I choose yes, then arrow down to ataraid.o... it says it found a scsi interface using ataraid.o, then proceeds to tell me there are no valid devices to install filesystems. (My hard disk is on the PDC20276). It then goes into a loop - keeps asking for the scsi driver, tells me it was loaded successfully, then says no devices were found. It's really depressing that I've had to use Red Hat 8.0... I miss my Mandrake... but can't get any of the newer releases to load on this motherboard. --Alexander
