Ok, get my new 8.2 from CompUSA. Put it in the cdrom and reboot.
Now the fun part!
Choosing boot paramters

Boots fine, right upto the point where ide2/hde on the promise pcd20276 onboard controller isnt' recognized stating thay neither ide port is enable (bios) for the promise onboard controller --- HUH?

TIA, Curtis.
P.S. After this is solved (and I hope in manner that doesn't need extremes) I will file a big bug report. This shouldn't be happening.
====================
Curtis, What we tell others to do, we forget to do ourselves, it seems. Check your manuals as I am sure there is mentiion of special things that might be needed with a Promise controller.
Appernently, you have to tell the installation where it is because configs it differently than it would other wise inti from fstab, and is set to do this at the getgo, so reading fstab, e.g. /dev/hde1 means nothing to it now. boot option: ide=reverse ide2=0xe800,0xe802 ide3=0xe000,0xe002 hdeX=a,b+2 read form hwscan --storage_ctrl The upside to this install related to this issues is that the response so far appears to be much brisker.
