maxtor ata 133 controller card question


Hello I just loaded Mandrake 8.1 and I cant get my maxtor ide controller to be detected. I searched and found that the card should work fine with linux. Any help would be appreciated. Oh I am very new with linux. Thanks

I think that card works fine too, but you have a distro release that comes with the, I think, 2.4.7 kernel, which is over a year old... What is the output of the command:

/sbin/lspci

as regards to the controller, then I can look up what kernel was the first to support that card. It may be possible to upgrade your kernel from RPM, which I never trust, but that does make this much easier.

Offhand, Mandy 8.2 uses 2.4.18, or 1 back from current, still a 6 month old kernel though... The info from the card will be the best starting point.

Cheers,

Finegan
