Since using nodma was what allowed you to boot the installation CD, I would start off with disabling DMA in the BIOS (and possibly on the kernel command line, if you are not already doing that) and see if that makes any difference. You may also want to double-check to make sure you are not accidentially using Cable Select on either drive. That made the BIOS on my system very unhappy at reboot (power cycling was fine, however). -- Michael Kjörling, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://michael.kjorling.com/ * ASCII Ribbon Campaign: Against HTML Mail, Proprietary Attachments * * No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. -*- SM0YBY * *** Software patents hinder progress - see http://swpat.ffii.org/ ***
