Description finelfish 2005-01-05 14:37:27 UTC 
Last alpha livecd w/ promise ide-controller support was 2004.0, and now that seems to be removed from mirrors, there's no (easy) way to install Gentoo to my system (add-on promise controller, only /boot -disk is connected to intergrated CMD646).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert livecd
2. b dkb
3. wonder where is the rest of the hdd's.

Actual Results:  
fdisk don't see other harddisks than what is attached to the integrated CMD
-controller

Expected Results:  
Find harddisks that is attached to the add-on promise -controller.

Check /releases/historical on your local mirror...

Adding alpha@gentoo.org to C so they can investigate adding this back into 2005.0's release.

i did check 5 closest mirrors, 2004.0 wasn't in any of them. I found that w/ google, but not from official mirror...

Have you tried the 2005.1 livecd?

It is on for 2005.1, so I am marking this as RESOLVED-FIXED.
