Hi,
I have installed Mandrake on several systems and am relatively competent
with Linux and Unix in general.
I recently purchased a brand new computer. All hardware seems to be on
the supported list:
AMD K6 400
Western Digital 6.4G HD
44x CDROM
Soyo SY-5EMA+ Motherboard
3com NIC (3c905b)
Logitech PS/2 mouse
keyboard, etc
The install seems to be hanging whenever the machine tries to access the
hard drive. The following 3 messages occur:
(4)hda: IRQ timeout: status=0xd0 {Busy}
(4)hda: drive not ready for command
(4)ide0: reset: success
They will repeat and eventually this message pops up:
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector (fill in a number)
I have turned off apm in the BIOS, and tried to find all instances of a
conflicting IRQ with no success.
Any ideas??
