I am suffering from an UMC board with the CDM 640B IDE controller. As long as I use only the primary channel, (master is a conner disk, slave is Mitsumi ATAPI FX100 CD-Rom) everything works fine. But I cannot use the secondary IDE-Channel, i. e. three or for IDE-Devices. So you might be able to install successfully by just using the primary IDE-Channell Have fun! Wolfgang Helbig
