Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2002-01-15 19:17:16 UTC
What all storage devices do you have attached to your system?

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-01-16 12:07:56 UTC
I manage to install it. As I said I have an ide hdd and an ide raid Fast Trak 
100, I didn't want to install on raid but the installer said the hdds in raid 
must be initializen and I will loose all the data. Finaly I initialized them 
and all work properly.
Thanks for the reply

Comment 3 Brent Fox 2002-01-17 15:25:15 UTC
