thanks! did that but still i got the same error messages. anyway, i think i've already fixed the the problem. i placed 'ide=nodma' in my bootloader and everythings ok already. now i wonder what the implication are with this 'ide=nodma setting..hmmm..

just a guess, perhaps your disk and cdrom are running
on different udma modes and perhaps it is bad
(yur disk is ultra133 but your cdrom is what)..
anyway i dont know for sure
if different udma modes can be mixed on the same
ide chain --perhaps that is ok----but looks to
me you have a spare ide port
anyway (hdc). Why not try moving the cdrom to
the other chain just to see if it boots (or maybe
disconnect the cdrom for awhile to see if it boots)...
Myself, I always try to put an ide disk on its own channel
whenever i can (i.e., no slave whenever possible).
