ATA100 problem

[m3rlin]

Hi! Im testing asus a7v133 with a athlon 1.4 Processor, and im having some big problems, first of all i can boot my system, during the check to the HD he says no response from /dev/hda reseting, or something.
The funy stuff is that i have the asus cdrom with the drivers for linux to work with ata100 :rolleyes: . Is linux conpatible with ATA100(raid controler)??
Im thinking to change to UDMA66 and install the drivers (or at least try), but im afraid that doesn't work, o yes, i have 786Mb SDRam, will linux accept all of this.
Using Suse 6.3 with kernel 2.4.*
Thanks!!!
Please Help so i can logoff from this terrible windows machine :(

I had the same problem (with the same motherboard) with older distros of Mandrake and RedHat. The newer ones should work. I got SuSE 7.1, 7.3 and Mandrake 8.0 and 8.1 to work on it no problem. So try a newer version of your distro and it should work.

I have an Asus A7V with an ATA100 hard drive and also get the same messages at boot time, but it is not really a problem. You're ATA100 hard drive will simply be referred to as /dev/hde instead of /dev/hda. The only disadvantage I have found is that boot time is a bit longer because it looks for drives that aren't there before it finds your hard drive. I have not found any way to fix this problem.
