I'm trying to install 4.5 on my system from CD. The system hangs indefinitely somewhere between probing hardware and starting sysinstall. This is the error I get:

These are the devices that I have on my secondary IDE

Master: Sony CDRW CRX160E
Slave: Creative CD5220-F 0225

I'm wondering what the problem is....

I replaced the cable with a brand new one, no luck.

Also, the Sony drive is UDMA, the Creative drive does not have DMA capabilities. However, if I take the Creative drive out and attempt setup again I get the same message:

ata1-slave: :identify tries exceeded

(null): MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting
ata1: resetting devices..

So, could someone please help me figure this out? I have no idea what the problem
could be.

Thanks in advance.
