Unfortunately that is not really an option as I don't have another SATA
system or access to any Debian using freinds and colleagues.
I understand that by replacing the IDE DVD with a SATA drive it should work.
Sounds the easiest solution.
Although I dont't suppose any one out there can make a later kernel install
available as an ISO?

Put the harddisk in another system
and copy your existing debian installation or install a new one via
deboostrap.
Then chroot into this installation, download & compile the linux kernel
v
2.6.22.6
with desired options (SATA AHCI..Attansic Gigabit Ethernet) install it,
also dont forget to install grub on the disk
and put it back into to the P5K SE system.
So with an recent kernel all features of the board work as expected<br><br><br>WR,<br>Bruno<br></blockquote></div><br>

Hello. It's been about a week that I've been unable to boot normally.
Every time I get the grub prompt, and then I have to go through the
sequence of commands "root/kernel/initrd/boot". I understand that this
may occur due to some defective file, but I can't see anything
abnormal in menu.lst, device.map, or fstab.
This is a dual boot box, Windows in /dev/hdc [(hd0,0) for grub], Sid
in /dev/hdd [(hd1,0)]. I have several kernels installed: 2.6.18-4-686,
2.6.21-2-686, 2.6.22-1-686, 2.6.22-2-686. 21-2 and 22-1 can't
boot, saying something about BIOS being unable to handle the number of
cylinders. I don't know if this suggests something's wrong with my
system, but 18 and 22-2 boot just fine (except for the fact that I
always get the grub prompt), and the boot process was
normal until a couple of weeks ago.
Any help will be appreciated. I have included below the files
menu.lst, devide.map, fstab, in case someone is interested. Regards,
Victor

Well, I'm running Lenny, so things are changing every day. It looks
like it might be a media issue though - strange since it's exactly the
same discs that I always use. But then, I did buy them from Curries, so
anything is possible. I tried it in windows - same result.
I found a 10-pack Tesco DVDs on my shelf that I never used, just tried
one of them - works perfectly fine.
Thanks

can you manually load the menu.lst?

should get you a menu. Its at least easier than type all the root,
kernel etc lines.

hmmm... that's a little fishy. can we see your (as root)
fdisk -l /dev/hda
your menu.lst et al looks fine though I just only glanced through

Hi,
I'm very new to Debian and deb packages. I have installed a number of
different deb packages for Apache, PHP5, etc.
The libapache2-mod-php5 package I installed has a number of extensions
built in, but there are some that are missing that I need.
php5-mcrypt
php5-xmlrpc
are just a couple.
PHP says that in order to have mcrypt work with PHP5, you have to
compile PHP5 with --with-mcrypt.
I have already installed the above two packages, but how do I get the
libapache2-mod-php5 to work with them (i.e. how do I get libapache2-
mod-php5 to recompile with --with-mcrypt)???
Thanks!

hda is cdrom, the bootable disk is hdc:

Ok, I'm disappointed. It didn't work. hdd has no bootable partitions,
and I still get the grub prompt, and using configfile complains about
cylinders.

Although it relates to encryption, some of the ideas in this document
