Subject: Kernel won't boot from IDE disk

I am doing a fresh installation. I installed the April 23, 1999 snapshot
of STABLE and then cvsupped the CURRENT source (4.0 CURRENT). I did a
'make world' and that went fine. I copied the GENERIC kernel config to
a new file and edited the copied file. I deleted whatever drivers I did
not need. I also deleted, perhaps mistakenly, but out of habit, the
line:

	"options		FAILSAFE"

I set the flags to wdc0 and wdc1 to 'a0ffa0ff'

I then added the following:

	options		SOFTUPDATES
	options		P1003_1B
	options		_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING
	options		_KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L
	options		CPU_WT_ALLOC

	controller      snd0
	device sb0      at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1
	device sbxvi0   at isa? drq 5
	device sbmidi0  at isa? port 0x330
	device opl0     at isa? port 0x388 

Upon reboot, the system would hang after doing all of the probes. Below is some
of the output that I got from a boot -v. I wrote this down on paper, so the
formatting may be a little off.

	isa_compat: didn't get drq for wdc1
...
	changing root device to wd0s1a

At this point it hangs. But if I press a key on the keyboard I then get:
	wd0s1: type 0xa5, start 0, end = 3173183, size 3173184
	wd0s1: C/H/S end 197/132/63 (1659041) != end 3173183: invalid
	start_init: trying /sbin/init
	wd0: interrupt timeout (status 50<rdy, seekdone > error 0)
	wd0: wdtimeout() DMA status 4

This last two lines above are repeated 5x, then I get:

	wd0: Last time I say: interrupt timeout. Probably a portable PC.

It is a desktop PC. I am not at the system now, so the following is from
memory.  It is an AMI BIOS, a Western Digital 1.6 GB IDE drive on the
primary IDE and a Mitsumi 4x CD-ROM drive on the secondary IDE.

I can't boot an old kernel because the only old kernel I have is a 3.1
kernel and it lacks 'curproc()'. I don't remember the exact message for
that.

If there is any more info that is needed I will see if I can get it but
I guess I will have to reinstall 3.1 for now.

I hope this information is of value. Thanks.
