ISC 2.2.1 on 33MHz 486 with WD 1007V-SE2 ESDI controller

Has anyone had any luck installing Interactive Unix 2.2.1 on a 
configuration such as the above ?  The doc says 2.2 couldn't but 2.2.1
was fixed to enable installation with the 1007V.  When the install 
procedure goes to check the drive for a valid unix partition, it comes 
back with :

        Device Error: Controller command aborted.
Controller 0 (Primary AT hard disk), disk drive 0, absolute sector 0

When fdisk runs, it can't find an existing DOS 3.3 partition, I assume 
because it can't read the drive correctly.  If I make any partitions
They don't get saved to the drive - that is, I can reboot with a DOS 
diskette and my original partitions are still there, and the new ones 
created with the ISC install are not.

Any help ?  Please reply to  uunet!areyes!deano or deano at areyes.com
