Salut Jean-Louis!
(Je continuerai h�las en anglais pour permettre � tout le monde de comprendre)
I don't try to _boot_ on the hde, I just want to _install_ the distro on it as
ATA/66 drive, even if I need to boot from a floppy with a few special arguments
past to the kernel in order for it to recognized the drive, as stated in the
(http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Ultra-DMA.html).
I boot from the bootable installation CD, pass to the kernel the parameters
that I guess are the good one (no HPT366 info in the mini HOWTO) and when it
boot, the kernel recognize the HD as hde, which is right, than freeze. I can't
continue installation and patch the newly installed kernel with the appropriate
patch (
The last lines sent to the console look like that:
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM=DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
ide1: BM=DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
hdb: MATSHITA CR-586, ATAPI CDROM drive
hde: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA9.1, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0xif7, 0x3f6 on irq 14
making me belive there's a problem with the ide0 thing
HELP!!!
(If help == someone from Mandrake telling me that there is no solution available
now but that there will be in N days or weeks, where N is as accurate as
possible, I would be satisfied since I will stop loosing my time trying to fix
unfixable things)
Thanks!
