Greetings All. Does any one know if it is possible to install linux on a drive that is attached to a pci ATA/100 card? I have an old PC and the primary drive broke down, so I bough a new one @ compusa but they only have new drives that are ATA/100 or ATA/113. so I couldn't attach it to the primary or secondary IDE channels, and I already had a PCI ATA/100 adapter so I attached it to it. I was successful installing WIN2K on that drive, but I need to also install linux on a secondary partition. I've tried RH, Mandrake and Slack with no success all of them go crazy and I get kernel panic when I try to tell linux which drive to use.
Any ideas? BTW. I'm using the Promise ATA/100 adapter from Maxtor.. TIA. Julio
