Dell Dimension 4100 seems to contain "bleeding edge" hardware. Tried to
install
7.2 with failure at IDE hard drive configuration and repartitioning. This
one uses
the INTEL 815E chipset. Hard drive is WD 20G (nothing fancy).
Entering RESCUE mode, had a look around /proc to see how hardware was
seen
and configured. Seems to have found all the I/O addresses properly, but
all the PCI bridges and hard drive controller are seen as "unknown devices":
00:00.0 Host Bridge Intel 1130 rev02
00:01.0 PCI Bridge Intel 1131 rev02
00:1e.0 PCI Bridge Intel 244e rev 02
00:1f.0 ISA Bridge Intel 2440 rev 02
00:1f.1 IDE interface Intel 2446 rev 02
00:1f.2 USB controller Intel 2442 rev 02
00:1f.3 SMBus Intel 2443 rev 02
Am I outa luck with 7.2? Am I bleeding-edge-beta-bait for next version
(8.0)?
Is there a way to get 7.2 to recongize my PCI bridge? Is this even my
problem?
