Hello all!
Haven't been near a computer for a couple of months, unless you count
a VT 420 Terminal/dust collector.
After catching up on my personal mails under WinblowNT, and lurking to
make sure I am up to the speed I was at.
When I last was at my desk regularly, I had just finished up re
installing RedHat 5.1 off of a CD. However I one CD drive, and 2
computers, so jump the cable.
My problem is i this under linux during boot time.

Ramdisk driver initialized : 16 ramdisks of 4096k size
ide0: buggy cmd640b interface on PCI (type1), config=0x1e
ide1: not serialized, secondary interface not responding

Partition check:
hda media changed
attempt to access beyond end of device
03:01: rw=0, want=1, limit=0
EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock
attempt to access beyond end of device
03:01: rw=0, want=1, limit=0
FAT bread failed
Kernal panic: VFS Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
My guess is the cable got reversed, ( pin 1 = pin 60). But I tried
that, and got nada. Only other thing that comes to mind is I use 2
cables for HD and CD. 1 is a single serial, the other a double. If they
were switched, does it make a difference which position is used on the
double cable?
Any other clues?
TIA I know this is non linux specific, but i am desperate. I miss having
everything at my fingertips, and not having to hunt through "My
Computer" for everything.
~P~
