Hi Tim, Thanks for replying so quickly.
As I said before, I'm a complete novice at Debian Linux. Once I'm set up it'll be a bit better as I have worked on a Unix box before. System: Intel 233mmx 32Mb HD as Primary on 1st controller Pioneer DR-A24X CDrom as Pri on 2nd Hd as slave on 2nd The cdrom is badged as a Pioneer (and shows up on boot as one) but loads gscdrom.sys so I presume it's got Goldstar connections somewhere. On boot: Loading root.bin.......... Loading Linux............... hdc shows up as Pioneer Get past Color screen Get Release notes Get detecting hardware settings Then... hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: error 0x20 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: error 0x20 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: error 0x20 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: error 0x20 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: error 0x20 hdc ATAPI reset complete hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: error 0x20 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: error 0x20 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: error 0x20 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: error 0x20 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: error 0x20 hdc: irq timeout: error 0x20 hdc ATAPI reset complete end_request: IO/error, dev 16:00, sector 0 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc: irq timeout: status=0x51 hdc ATAPI reset complete above 5 lines repeat ad infinitum Any ideas? Or places to go for help? I found the archives and read about 3 months-worth, but can't find anything similar.
