Tom, Charles,
Thankyou for your responses.
My point is that mandrake 9.0 suppports all my IDE combinations, Mandrake 9.1 does not. I do not use any raid.
Therefore, ipso facto, plainly, without doubt, as surely as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, we have Mandrake retrogression:
The fix must come from Mandrake (a corrected hd.img?). And quickly!
This makes me nervous - your ide config sounds very similar to mine
CDs made OK, but installer loops around the disk/scsi questions with no escape - inadequate GUI design.
Surprisingly it seems that 9.1 has never been tested on a simple IDE2 & 3 on m/b config like mine.
