I've installed from ISO image on HDD, using the DVD as boot disk. But imagine I have a brand new HDD (unformatted), no other device as you suggested (USB DVD drive), no OS because it is new machine, so no ftp access, ISO on HDD etc... Best Regards, Mihai Sorin Dobrescu

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 Kind Regards Wayne Rolfe Novicus Systems Tel 083 704 1624 Fax 086 654 4043 From: Dobrescu Mihai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue, 02 Jan 2007 20:38:42 +0200 Subject: [newbie] ASUS P5B/JMicron installation issue of Mandriva 2007 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?
