Subject:   installing 4.0 on a "wd" machine [repost, with 3.4 dmesg]

Hello,

I'm trying to install 4.0 on an ancient machine.

this machine is a VLB 486 PC, with a caching Tekram DC680C IDE controller.

The controller probes fine with "wd" driver, both in 3.4 and 4.0 with a kernel
recompiled with wdc and wd instaed of the new ata driver (see 3.4 dmesg further)

I have recompiled a new 4.0 kernel on a working 4.0 PC. This kernel has a
driver for wdc, wdc and mcd, used for the CD-ROM.

The boot floppy boots fine on both a "known working" 4.0 PC and the VLB PC.

The problem is that /stand/sysinstall does not find the wd drives (it complains :
"no disks found! Please verify that your disk controller is being probed at boot
time ..." in the second window after selecting a Novice install)

How may I install 4.0 on this PC ? (upgrading from 3.4 to 4.0 with the sources is
not really an option as the disks are a bit small)

     TIA

     TfH

PS : there is a suspicious "wd0: interrupt timeout (status 5a<rdy,seekdone,drq,index>
 error 0)" at the end of the dmesg (maybe the IDE controller is not so well supported ....)

3.4 dmesg
