[debian-non-standard] Debian on Thecus5200: how to read ide 44-pin

[elmer at leet.la]

Hello,

It works perfectly with a usb/cdrom. I installed my prefered distribution (archlinux)
Now im fighting with grub & lilo. At boot sequence, it says it cant find the root (Root device '/dev/hda1' doesn't exist, attempting to create it)

                No i did not. 
But i see in the bios it can boot from usb/cdrom. And  today I got a 5'1/4 ide/usb case and a cdrom player. I will try with  that. It should works right? It seems to me the easiest way to install  any distribution i want. I keep u informed, thanks again for ur help.

  Did you confirm with a packet sniffer (i.e. tcpdump) that it sends any 
  packets?
  
  Did you try both network interfaces on your n5200?
