Pat and others Apologise for the limited info but here goes;
Yesterday, my company purchased a number of new pc's which are using the new Asus P4P800-E Deluxe Motherboard. I tried everything to get the unattended to work but alas I couldn't. The problem being that the linux boot cd would not recognize the SATA drive. Well, as the screen was loading (it is fast) but I was able to glimpse a line which seemed to indicate that it had found the drive. Unfortunately though once I try to map my install share it bombs out with a message that "oh so close" I believe. I am sure your disk should be able to identify the SATA drive, however this new motherboard has a weird bios. In the bios there is a section for what type of os you are using (2 modes) (1) ie legacy os's, (compatability mode - in this mode the SATA somehow replaces an IDE channel) win98, dos etc, or (2) (enhanced mode) - new, as in Win Xp or Server 2003. I tried both settings but no luck... I then had to install the os from scratch etc...Windows XP had no problem in detecting the drive. Anyone have any idea, I am happy to provide more info ......as this has never happened before, the linux boot cd always works like a treat :-) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by The 2004 JavaOne(SM) Conference Learn from the experts at JavaOne(SM), Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference, June 28 - July 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA REGISTER AND SAVE! http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf Priority Code NWMGYKND _______________________________________________ unattended-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info
