Topic: Installation switches ?

[John Crisp]

Hi, Am trying to get e-smith onto a Gigabyte board with Promise ATA 100 Raid controller. I can install other distros with

linux ide2=0xdc00, 0xd802  (I/O from from lspci etc.)

This works fine. How do I do the same with e-smith at the "accept" prompt ? Will it take commandline switches ? Or is there a hack ?

ANy ideas gratefully received.

There is a contributed HOWTO on installing using the Promise ATA!00 board at http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/contrib/ata100.txt

Hope this helps

Many thanks for that - looks similar sort of procedure to other installs I have done - just couldn't quite pin it down.
