I install etch on an old system, but get boot messages below: Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hda: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hda: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hda: no response (status = 0x0a), resetting drive Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hda: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hda: no response (status = 0x0a) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdb: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdb: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdb: no response (status = 0x0a), resetting drive Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdb: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdb: no response (status = 0x0a) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdc: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdc: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdc: no response (status = 0x0a), resetting drive Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdc: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdc: no response (status = 0x0a) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdd: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdd: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdd: no response (status = 0x0a), resetting drive Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdd: IRQ probe failed (0xfffff7f8) Nov 10 17:44:40 debian kernel: hdd: no response (status = 0x0a)
Probing takes too much time. As I use scsi disk, I want to disable probing, so I read files in kerenl-doc-2.6 package and change a line in menu.lst to: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-5-686 root=/dev/sda4 ro noisapnp hda=noprobe After grub-install and reboot, "hda=noprobe" does not have any effect. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
