Comments/Problems:
 
I can't install 2.6.8. Hard disk not detected. 
(I have however been able to install 2.4.27 but
this gives me some USB problems so I want to
get a more recent kernel in place.)
 
When trying to install with boot parameter "linux26"
the installation stops during the partition phase
with the message "No partitionable media were found".
 
(If I have a floppy in my USB floppy drive or have my
external USB Maxtor hard drive powered on the installation
program suggests that I partition these devices but
the program can't find my internal hard disk)
 
My hard disk is a Hitachi Travelstar 7K60
model HTS726060M9AT00 60GB interface an ATA-6 interface.
 
According to WindowsXP control panel the IDE ATA/ATAPI-control
unit is an Intel 82801FBM Ultra ATA stroage Controllers - 2653.
There are also a primary and secondary IDE-channel.
 
You should also know that I am a GNU/Linux beginner.
