If you have then you need to try the nobiospnp solution. to do that, use the floppy boot disk and when it gives you the prompt to boot: type in linux nobiospnp and see if that boots you into your system setup. Somebody jump in here with corrections if I'm off a bit, this is from memory. HTH -- Dennis M.
