In my PC I have two hard disks connected to a Promise Ultra100 card that
provides ATA-100 support plus two IDE channels in addition to the two on the
motherboard. When I try to install Linux-Athena, the installer claims that I
have no hard disks that it can use for the install and won't let me proceed
further. If my disks showed up at all they would probably appear as hde and
hdg (hd[a-d] are on the on-board IDE controller). Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to get the installer to recognize my disks (or at least the
one I want to install on) apart from putting one of the disks on the onboard
IDE controller? I resist that idea because the onboard controller is only
ATA-66; I want to install on an ATA-100 disk, plus the performance of the
Ultra100 card is purportedly better than the onboard controller.
Thanks,
Tom Grayson
