thanks a lot sudeep -----Original Message----- From: Bhaskar Dutta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 8:48 PM To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list Subject: RE: [ilugd] IRQ probe Hi, I presume you are using GRUB as your bootloader as it is installed by default in Red Hat 8. Open the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and modify the line similar to [these lines are from my grub.conf file, yours will be slightly different] ---> kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14_custom_fs ro root=LABEL=/ to the following: kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14_custom_fs ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=noprobe hdd=noprobe (The whole params are in a single line, no line breaks). That should do the work. In case you are using LILO, edit the lilo.conf file and add the line ---> append="hdc=noprobe hdc=noprobe" to the beginning of the file. Don't forget to run /sbin/lilo after the change to lilo.conf.
