Hi,

I have a very old Pentium-1 PC (60 MHz).

I have installed 4.11, without any problems,
although the dmesg output has a line about buggy
ATA controller (see below for dmesg output).

When I try to install 5.3 in this PC (using the
three floppies), I get to the point where FDISK
should start, but instead I get an error message
that says something like "No disk is found".

Any ideas why 4.11 can handle this, but 5.3 cannot?

Moreover, 4.11 seems to be running fine on this PC.

Regards,
Rob.
