When the kernel boots, I get a relatively long wait (a minute or more) at the harddisk detection. The HD is a IBM-DTLA/30.7Gb; CPU is Intel 1.7 GHz. For the whole 'dmesg' output, see below in the PS; the place where the wait occurs is here: [...] atapci0: port 0xb800-0xb80f at device 31.1 on pci0 ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 [ HERE is the long wait! ] ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 uhci0: port 0xb400-0xb41f irq 11 at device 31.2 on pci0 [...] Any ideas why the kernel boot is not going smooth at that point? Thanks! Rob. PS: the complete boot log is: avail memory = 518733824 (506576K bytes) Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc03f1000. Preloaded mfs_root "/mfsroot" at 0xc03f1084.
