I'm trying to install Slack 9.1. The boot disk bare.i, and rootdisks load fine. It even detects the the ATAPI 52X CDRom at boot time, and when it asks me to load the first Slack 9.1 CD, it recognizes it. But after I go through the rest of the configuration process, when I tell it to actually install Slack, it says it can't find any IDE/SCSI drive at all. The drive is /dev/hdd, I don't think I can change that. The motherboard is an AMD board, the pc is a custom-built that is several years old now. I installed RH FC2 but I'd much rather run Slack. I'm pretty much a complete n00b, having used M$ for so long, so any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Did you download the ISO's and burn the CD's yourself?

Yes I did. I posted this in another forum, and the link that was posted to me indicated that the cd is bad or I need to add a parameter to the boot, something about nodma. I'd have to look at the link in the post again. I'm going to try the nodma parameter solution first, and if that doesn't work, I burned 10.0. I may just try 10.0 anyway, now that I have it.
