[Gllug] Core 2 duo / Intel 965 chipset

[Chris Stromblad]

Hej Jim,

Perhaps someone has already addressed this issue and I do apologize in 
advance if this is the case. But in kernel 2.6.17 there was a problem 
supporting controller JMicron 360/363. There were a couple of patches 
going around to fix that, but it was fully incorporated in the 2.6.18 
kernel.

If your problem is related to drives suddenly disappearing during 
installation and no HDDs detected during install, that's very likely 
your problem.

Your only choice to solve this is to use a bootcd/dvd that supports 
2.6.18 and works with JMicron.

Hope this helps!

// Chris
