Hi, Following up from my query of last week. I'm trying to boot my laptop from 4.3 floppies. I've been rumnning 2.2.8 on the same machine for over 2 years. I'm now tryiing to install 4.3 on a new hard disk. When I get to the 'disk partitioning' page it says No disk found ! Please verify that your disk controller is being properly probed at boot time. See the hardware guide on the Documentation Menu I tried booting from 4.3 floppies but with the disk on which I have 2.2.8 installed. The intention being to abort installation before formatting the disk. Again, it tells me 'No Disks found', and this disk happilly boots 2.2.8 without using boot floppies. I then blew the dust of an old floppy labelled PAO 2.2.8 and booted that with the new disk and this worked, allowing me to set disk partitions. Clearly I have no intention of installing 2.2.8, but I think this indicates that the hardware is OK. boot -s reports ... isa0:<ISA bus> on isab0 atapci0:<Intel PIIX4 ATA33 controller> port 0xfcd0-0xfcdf at device 3.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 uhci0 ..... etc. further down it reports .... pccard: card inserted, slot 1 ata0-master: ata_command: timeout waiting for intr ata0-master: identity failed Can anyone suggest a way forward ? Is it the 4.3 floppies ? Can I get 4.2 floppies ? When will 4.4 be coming out ?
