Only a power down stops it. I forced my IDEs to use PIO as suggested in one discussion, no worky. I've disabled all unneeded items in the BIOS, including unused IDE channels, USB, onboard LAN, still no fix. I've verified that my RAID drivers work with 5.2 (or newer) as seen in other dicussions. I've verified the MD5 of this disk before burning, and I've also used this very CD to install on another machine with no problems. If I create a booting floppies so then boot is normal worky. The 5.1 and 4.10 CDs boot just fine.
