Nothing at all. Bog-standard IDE disk and ATA CD-ROM in a Compaq Evo P4 |
| 12 |
box. The disk controller is an Intel 82801DB ICH4 according to lspci. |

Grub (or do I mean init?) can't find a kernel to boot. |

I think the box predates AHCI, though it may be worth a try. I don't |

Yes, me too. I have one box on which I had to switch AHCI off in the BIOS |
| 31 |
to enable the installation CD to boot, then back on again to boot the |
| 32 |
installed system. |
