Something else just occurred to me. You say you are using 2.4.19-pre3. Would that be the same 2.4.19-pre3 that includes the new ide code from 2.5 but does not include the fix for the filesystem corruption it caused in 2.5 ? You may want to go here now: http://lwn.net/2002/0314/kernel.php3 I se

There's been a few threads about the Promise ATA133 controller in the past week. You can boot of the disks attached to the controller. Assuming you have nothing on the ide disks, here are the basic steps: 1. Attach the ide disk(s) to a controller your current kernel supports, probably the ide con

Just a shot in the dark here since you didn't mention which SCSI controller you are using, BUT you "should" have a SCSI setup to configure its BIOS somewhere. It is NOT the one you have been using in the KT7's BIOS setup program, although some MBs have an integrated SCSI and its SCSI setup can
