Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] SATA CDROM boot problem?

[John B. <jbr...@gm...>]

Thanks for your help...

BIOS settings
SATA mode = RAID
and in the RAID settings I don't have the drives mirrored.

I get the "Shall I copy the default ....." and press y (and only get a singe
y)
Then I get the "Would you like to probe...." which I answer y.
Probing all SCSI modules ...

Then I get a long list of modules found (about 4 1/2 lines) then I get
Searching for Devil-Linux CD-ROM
Search list:
  checking /dev/sda1 ... wrong media
!!! Devil-Linux CD-ROM not found !!!
Cannot find CD drive - try probing for SCSI controllers
Wold you really like to load DL without Configuration Media?
  (y/n)

One thing I've noticed is that with the SATA BIOS setting at RAID the boot
menu lists the CD-ROM drive as
P4-HL-DT-STDVD-ROM
and with it set to IDE it lists it as
CDROM.

Clue?
