hey, Wayne, can we ask you not "top post". it makes the archives a bitch

I cannot remeber what chipset the Asus P5B had but I know that I
recently purchased a Intel 965 chipset motherboard and had the same
problem. According to my research intel has changed the way the P-ATA
controller is integrated into the northbridge and this causes the kernel
not to recognize any P-ATA device located on those ports. The only
solution I could find was to
1) Install off of an USB CD-ROM
2) Install off of ftp
3) ...or try any other installation method that is not P-ATA CD-ROM
You can still at least boot from the CD-ROM so there is no need to
create boot floppies.
I hope this info helps

not intel, (they did not go back in time and screw with old chipsets)
the Linux kernel from 2.6.19 on...
but his problem is a much older kernel, and the install kernel at that.
Hello,
I've a new mainboard, ASUS P5B with JMicron controller.
I can't install Mandriva 2007 (with kernel 2.6.17.5) due to an error
saying 'No CDROM device found" after booting the DVD.
Does anybody know a solution please?
Best Regards,
Mihai Sorin Dobrescu
it would help to have a little better description of just where along
the install and exactly what the error says, and confirm that you did a
cold boot to start up with the cdrom, so the installers is in a ramdisk?
we really need to know the MoBo chipset before more accurate
troubleshooting, but have you checked the 2007 errata?

if that don't work;

you may have to pass the kernel config (when it says enter for install
or f1 for other options, pick the f1... )
or maybe you got a fsck'd dvd-drive or dvd iso burn?
