Hi all,
After an embarrasing hour when I couldn't work out why the root fs disk
wasn't being recognised for my kernels but was for the one I downloaded,
I have finally made it into the install program for SuSE 7.1 and Debian
woody. However, both have the same problem - they say I don't have any
disks! This is weird because in both installers I can bring up a shell
and manually create and mount an ext2 partition on hdisk1 (/dev/sdb).
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Leigh.

Do you have devfs active in your .config? If yes, boot with "nodevfs" or
devfs=off.
cat /proc/partitions should show /dev/sdaX and notsomething different.

Thanks. I rebuilt the kernel without devfs support and its working now.
Hopefully, that was the last obstacle to a successful install.
Cheers,
Leigh.
