[PLUG] Intel MB woes

[Roderick A. Anderson]

We just got a system with an Intel BLKDG965RYCK main board.  Can't get 
it very far into the install process.  It keeps asking for an device to 
install from.  This is with every Redhat-ian distribution we can find.

A Samsung DVD/CD Writer on the IDE controller and every conceivable 
combination or hard drives.
    Started with a SCSI host adapter (Adaptec), went to a SATA drive 
connected to the on board controller, finally a plain old IDE drive on 
the IDE chain with the DVD/CD drive.

We have also tried a simple 52X CD ROM drive and that too went horribly 
wrong.

Anyone familiar with this MB?  Any joy installing Linux on one?  It's 
beginning to feel like a hardware issue.


TIA,
Rod
