Hello, I finally bought the cd-rom distribution from dvd rent (Victoria, Australia - thanks Tyson - really great service !) but am having trouble installing
the very first installation went fine but i made some config errors so rather than trying to reconfigure the system i decided to re-install from scratch the problem is that the cd-rom seems to spin down and the following errors are given : hdc: irq timeout: status = 0xd0 hdc: ATAPI reset complete hdc: irq timeout: status = 0xd0 hdc: ATAPI reset complete end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00, sector 444 (*** the sector number changes ***) the cd seems marginally readable because either a package is unpacked or a deslected package is skipped but the cd seems to be operating at 1/4 speed rather than 24X speed as it is supposed to FYI, the cd rom is a Diamond Data which i believe is manufactured by Mitsubishi. it was installed along with my sb-16 sound card. sorry - even the manual isn't any more specific !!! i have tried cold booting the machine (even leaving it overnight) and warm booting but the errors just keep on coming ! any help very much appreciated. ivan.
