I'm struggling with the same problem myself (posted on [newbie] yesterday). In my case, I have two IBM HD's on the ATA66 channel (/dev/hde & /dev/hdf) which seems to be the problem. Don't know if EagleIce have two HD's too, or just one (ref. your reply to my post on [newbie])? :-) - Abit BE6-II (latest BIOS (UH)) - Celeron 466 - /dev/hde: IBM 30GB DTLA 307030 (ATA100) (primary master, /boot) /dev/hdf: IBM 13.5GB (ATA66) (primary slave) (both are 7200rpm's, and not contaminated with Windoze) BillK wrote: > > Are you doing a new install or an upgrade?
