I'm installing 5.3-beta, booting off floppies. The kernel boot fails/stalls at: ATAPI_RESET time = 60us ATAPI_RESET time = 90us ata1-master: FAILURE - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE timed out It identifies the 2 10gb drives in there as UDMA33. Not sure what the problem is - I can tweak some of the IDE options in the BIOS - currently set to UDMA. If you let it sit for a while, it will eventually get to the "Probing devices" screen -- and there it hangs some more. Any ideas? The BIOS is up-to-date, btw. Thanks.
