Please check that a hard disk is attached to this machine. ------------ I tried to re-do the detection (several times) and eventually got a message asking me if y wanted to be prompted for module parameters. I answered yes and got the following message: ------------ [.]Detect hardware Unable to load some modules Linux kernel modules needed to drive some of your hardware are not available yet. Simply proceeding with the install may make these modules available later. ------------ followed by a list of missing modules and the devices needing it: ------------ ide-scsi (Linux IDE-SCSI emulation layer) ide-mod (Linux IDE driver) ide-probe-mod (Linux IDE probe driver) ide-detect (Linux IDE detection) ide-floppy (Linux IDE-floppy) ------------ If I try a # ls /dev/scsi it is empty. But # ls /dev/ide host0 I don't think it's my CDROM (which is on /dev/cdroms), and I don't have any other IDE device... I tried (just in case) with the 2.4 instead of the 2.6 (linux26), but I got the same error message. You can find the detailed description of my computer here (although I don't have all the listed devices): http://support.packardbell.com/uk/mypc/?PibItemNr=PB34100102#show My motherboard is a MSI Orion (MS-7168 Ver 0.A). My (unique) disk is a Seagate SATA ST3200822AS. Thanks a lot for your work, and please contact me if you need any information. Laurent Jacob
