Thanks. #1 - rootdelay set to 120 and 300, neither changes the results.
#2 not an IDE, its a SATA HDD issue. #3 there are no unused SATA ports. Disconnected all but the root dirve, turned off as recommended, still having the same error. #4 Bios updated prior to my install, its the latest. Is there a way to capture the boot messages from the failed boot? I only get as far as the busybox (initrdfs I think) load after things time out and there are no sdN devices found. > This seems related to bug 220706.
