Hi, a german user (probably a non-english speaker) asked me:
--quote------------------------------------------------------------ "I'd like to install Mandrake Linux 8.2 but at the start of the installation process the machine hangs with these last lines: VP_IDE : VIA vt8233 (rev 00) IDE UDMA100 Contoller on PCI 00: 11.1 ide2: BM-DMA at 0XFF00-=XFF07, BiosSettings: hde pio, hdf: pio ide3: BM-DMA at 0XFF08-=XFF0F, BiosSettings: hdg DMA, hdh: DMA Hardware: MSI-Board: =================== SLOT A - BIOS AMI - Vers. 062710 Promise Fast Track 100 Lite / Ultra 100 EIDE - Controller Name Product: Promise Technology PDC 20265 FAST TRACK 100 Lite / Ultra 100 EIDE - Controller MSI K7T 266 PRO / Version MS-6380 - 1.0A VIA Apollo KT266 VT 8366 Super Nothbridge VT 8233 Southbridge System SMBus Contoller = VIA VT823xSMBus - 16 kHz" --unquote----------------------------------------------------------- I'm sure I read something about the VIA chipset and also something about the Promise controller. I searched google and the mailinglist archive and found a lot about this but nothing about installation issues. This german user seems to be a total newbie (as he himself writes) so the help has to be really in a hand-holding way. Could someone please point me into the right direction so that I can help him? wobo -- "... and anyway, an html can't carry a virus."
