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. ------------------------------------------------ 'dmesg' output after 4.11 installation: CPU: Pentium/P5 (58.18-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x517 Stepping = 7 Features=0x1bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8> real memory = 25165824 (24576K bytes) avail memory = 19152896 (18704K bytes) Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc055c000.
