| 20:59.19 | dorjek | I've got an iBook G4 that I'm installing debian 5.06 on..it won't detect my hard drive. How do I identify and get the driver for it? |
| 20:59.34 | dorjek | It's a 30GB Ultra ATA |

| 21:16.57 | dorjek | where would i find out how to get the debian install to detect my hard drive |
| 21:37.22 | pahartik | dorjek: Debian GNU/Linux installer detects it automatically as block storage device... |
| 21:38.14 | dorjek | it says no disk drive was detected |
| 21:40.35 | pahartik | dorjek: If you booted from network and install with network installer, driver modules are fetched from Debian archive mirror before "detect harddisks" |
| 21:42.44 | pahartik | dorjek: If harddisk device is not found, I suspect broken harddisk or detached cable |
| 21:44.32 | dorjek | naw...the harddisk thing is a common problem i guess because it doesn't have the driver from CD booting..i guess i'll have to connect it to the network |
| 21:44.50 | dorjek | i was doing a CD install |
| 21:46.09 | dorjek | so should i use netinst or netboot intaller? |
| 21:48.08 | pahartik | dorjek: CD or DVD installer should work fine... |
| 21:49.44 | pahartik | dorjek: If you boot some other operating system, like NetBSD for example, does it detect harddisk? |
| 21:50.00 | dorjek | yup...mac os x panther |
| 21:50.29 | dorjek | i'm trying to wipe that out and put debian only on that laptop |
| 21:50.31 | pahartik | dorjek: Or even easier, can you access harddisk over IEEE-1394 if you boot to "target-mode"? |
| 21:51.33 | dorjek | nope...don't have that skill...i've found that the issue is drivers; so, i bet the netboot will work because it gets the drivers...i'm guessing |
| 21:53.48 | pahartik | dorjek: Oh... There is nothing tricky I have noticed about harddisk on iBook G4 (late 2004) related to Debian install... |
| 21:55.27 | dorjek | hmm...then either i'm not explaining something correctly or it's the hard drive...i'll check the hard drive again |
| 21:55.29 | dorjek | thanks |
| 21:55.34 | pahartik | dorjek: But, try newer or older installer |
| 21:55.43 | dorjek | will do |
