Hello Linux folkz,
Yesterday at work I was installing SuSE 7.0 on Athlon socket 7 ABIT MB based
PCs.
What I noticed that on these boards were two pair of connectors:
Primary and secondary ATA/100 and primary and secondary IDE/66.
These motherboards have an additional BIOS ATA/100 which recognizes devices
connected to ATA/100 connectors.
When I tried to install Linux on these computers, setup couldn't find hard
drives connected to ATA/100 connectors even previously installed Win NT worked
with the same HD configurations. Only after I switched hard drives to EIDE/66
connectors I successfully completed Linux installation. Could somebody clarify me
if Linux can't work with ATA/100 devices or there is another way to make Linux
to work with ATA/100 devices.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Alex
