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...

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

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?

 
Best Regards,
Mihai Sorin Dobrescu
