hde: ST380023AS, ATA DISK drive blk: queue c0385a68, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff) A long delay of about 30-45 seconds here, then: hdg: no response (status = 0xfe) and then it goes on to boot. I tried it both on the line with the kernel command, and on the next line by itself. No difference. hde (and hdf, g & h if they existed) is on a Silicon Image SATA controller. This is not a big deal. Just trying to make this machine boot very cleanly and quickly. Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
