Package: base Software: Debian ETCH RC-1
System: PROLIANT 3000, Dual PIII 600 MHz 2 GB ram Smart Array 3200 DLT7000 tape nVidia TNT 16MB Graphics card. Problem: System does NOT see the CD-ROM after network install is complete.The system previously ran SARGE. It is a DUAL BOOT withW2000AS. W2000AS operates correctly. Sarge operated correctly. It appears that the ETCH system does not " see " the ide controller during configuration. This may be because it relys on the BIOS for certain flags, which the Compaq Proliant does not have. The BIOS CONFIGURATION notes that a PROLIANT 3000 system WILL NOT RECOGNIZE AN IDE HARD DRIVE. KUBUNTU Edgy Eft WILL install correctly and mount the CD-ROM properly. Knoppix Version 5 and Simply MEPIS LIVE work as well, but will NOT install to the hard drive. The DEV directory in ETCH does not have an hda entry after install. KUBUNTU Edgy Eft does. This is possibly related: Fd0 does not work as well. The DEV directory in ETCH does not have a fd0 entry either. KUBUNTU does and it mounts floppies just fine. This may be a hardware specific issue with no problem resolution. Please let me know what has been decided in resolving the matter in ETCH.
