Hi,

I'm trying to install Debian 2.2 on two graduate students' machines.
The install boots from the CD but is unable to find the hard drive.

The machines are:

Dell Dimension XPS T800r, BIOS version A09

Setup reports the zip and cd on the secondary IDE controller,
and Win2K reports  the hard drive controller as

WDC WD20 4BA SCSI Disk Device

Neither of the two boot options "aic7xxx=..." helps.

Thank you for your help.
Glenn
