thanks to all those who contributed to the above
subject. all were helpful in narrowing the trouble -
it turned out to be one defective dimm. thanks a lot.
linus now runs. thanks. but i observed that upon
boot-up, linux attempts to check devices hdc and hdd
which i think are the pc's secondary ide ports. how
can i prevent this check upon bootup (and make boot
faster) as there are no devices attached to those.
here are the errors:
hdc: no response (status 0xa1), resetting drive
hdd: no response (status 0xa1), resetting drive
i already set secondary master and slave to NONE at
the bios.
any ideas? thanks a lot.
