Some of the errors are not unusual. Also, my old atapi CD took a long time to probe. My new one probes faster, but it still takes longer than my hd. > /kernel: wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:273/4.21>, removable,iordy This means it found your drive, that's why the packages and such work. > /kernel: atapi1.0: unknown phase > /kernel: atapi1.0: invalid command phase, ireason=0x3, > status=51<ready,opdone,check>, error=64<abort> These errors look to me like the system is probing your cd to see if it recognizes certain commands, but it's not responding to them. You can probably find out exactly what it's doing by booting with the -v flag. > /kernel: mcd0 not found at 0x300 > /kernel: matcdc0 not found at 0x230 > /kernel: scd0 not found at 0x230 These mean that you don't have those cd drives. You can disable the probe in the userconfig kernel configurator thingy when you boot, or better yet, learn how to customize your own kernel. :) Information about all these things is in the handbook, available on line or on your CD's.
