I'm having problems installing Debian on my system. I have the Promise UDMA66 card, a SiS 6326 video card and an Aureal Vortex 2 AU8830 sound card. None of these install, nor does my /dev/lp0 even though I know it is ECP, at 0x378-0x37F and 0x778-0x774 on IRQ 7 and DMA 3.
I finally worked out how to install. Instead of using floppies and then typing some, undocumented in the install manual, parameters, I downloaded the install from hard disk files in the udma66 directory. Once I duplicated the way they were setup, I could boot to Debian and start the install process. I need to know what drivers to add to my kernel for the above devices. I am aware that there is no support for the AU8830 other than that at SourceForge. The Aureal package there says it works on RedHat (6.0 - 6.2 kernel 2.2.16 and 2.4) and Slackware (7.0 kernel 2.2.16 and 2.4). What are the chances it will work on Debian? TIA for your help, James.
