After corresponding with Ben H. on this and doing some testing I reached the conclusion that: If you have a dvd/cd-rw combo drive on a 600 mhz ibook the stock 2.4 kernels will not recognise it. Ben has fixed this in his kernel and I found an old reference in the faq-o-matic (to an iMac) that you can work around it by specifying hda=16383,16,63 as a kernel arg when booting from the install cd. I thought I'd drop the info here so others can search it out when they run into the same problem... Bob ----- Forwarded message from Robert E Brose II ----- Subject: (fwd) Missing iBook HD driver? Am I missing something? I'm trying to install on a 6 mo. old iBook, 600 mhz, combo drive and 20 gig hd. Neither debian 3.0, ydl 2.3 or gentoo 1.2 boot cd's find the hard disk (though they all find the cd). What's up with this?? -- end of forwarded message -- -- /~\ The ASCII | Robert E.
