debian install problem

I'm having trouble getting Debian sarge installed on one of my computers, wondering if you all have any ideas...

- computer: biostar m5ata motherboard, 192mb ram, 1.1gb Conner Peripherals HD, cd-rom, floppy, S3 Virge PCI video card, 3Com network PCI card, and a usb 1.1 PCI card
- downloaded debian net-install cd, it booted and the partition/install process went fine
- after initial reboot, boot process gets to a message that reads something like "assuming 33Mhz (or something like that) bus speed for IDE (something something) override with idebus=xx" and then it reboots

the kernel boot from the cd worked fine; any ideas on what to do?

the exact line before it reboots is this:

ide: assuming 33MHz PCI bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus-xx

try booting in safe mode

then set idebus kernel param (google for howto) to the value supplied in your motherboard manual.

Are you using a PCI HDD controller? I remember having a bitch of a time getting anything but BSD or Windows installed on an old Gateway that used one, Linux/Plan 9 would get to detecting the HDD, then freak the fuck out. Except one distro that just said it couldn't find any HDDs.

i'm going to try that

not using a paddleboard, it's the mobo ide.

paddleboard
At first I thought you said pedobear.

>>6
lol
Promise Ultra66 Pedobear PCI card lol

anyway, adding idebus=37.5 option fixed it

i didn't add the option when i upgraded from 2.4 kernel to 2.6, and the 2.6 kernel didn't reboot even without the option.

thanks guys!
