I see in the console logging (alt-F4) that the IDE controller is found, but no devices connected are reported (harddisk and CD-ROM). So I am not able to find the CD-ROM drive or the harddisk. hw-detect reports missing modules: ide-mod, ide-probe-mod, ide-detect, ide-floppy After that I tried to load only the ide-generic and ide-disk module in 'expert' mode and this worked. The problem was maybe the PIIX module that should not be loaded on my system. After reboot I see in the kernel messages that my IDE controller is accessed using DMA. Since this older hardware (1994), this certainly does not work. I added the boot-option 'ide=nodma' in GRUB and this worked. base-config ran Congratulations on the dutch translation team: excellent job !! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
