Hi,

I used to run 2.2.5 quite happily on my PC:

ASUS VIA/AMD 761 Chipset Motherboard
AMD Duron Processor
128MB RAM
3125MB Samsung IDE drive
81MB IDE HD drive

However I was having problems running linux emulation properly, so I
decided to
upgrade. I tried booting from the CD-ROM and the floppies, but the result
is the same.
After the boot sequence the blue screen comes up with "Probing devices,
please wait, 
this will take some time..." Well, I left it over an hour and with still no
joy. 

If I switch to the other terminal I see the following message:

DEBUG: ioctl(3,TIOCCONS,NULL)=0 (success)
DEBUG: Can't open PC-card crontroller /dev/card0
ata0-master: timeout waiting to give command=c8 s=e0 e=04
ad0: error executing command - resetting
at0 - resetting devices... device disappeared! 3 done
ata0-master: timeout waiting to give command=c8 s=e0 e=04
ad0: error executing command - resetting
ata0-master: timeout waiting to give command=c8 s=e0 e=04
ad0: error executing command - resetting
ata0-master: timeout waiting to give command=c8 s=e0 e=04
ad0: error executing command - resetting


Here is what I've tried so far:

a) Disabling all and various devices from the initial kernel config.
b) Switching the IRQs over (just a guess!) for ata0 and ata1.

Nothing I do seems to get beyond the probing devices message.

Does anyone have a clue as to what is going wrong?

Many thanks,
David Carter
