Title: Message
I never get a chance to run up2date.  The message below occurs right after the install, on the first boot from the hard drive.  I've installed it 3 times now after pulling the modem and the sound card to reduce IRQ conflicts that may be causing the problem.  None of this has helped.  I still see the error.

I would guess since you ran up2date, you updated kernel rpm as well? Maybe to 2.4.18-X?
 
I saw this same thing, when I installed 8.0 yesterday, except with hdc (first cdrom) both my hard disks were fine. I hadn't seen this in 6.2 or 7.3 running same hardware, so I suspected some sort of change on the install.
 
I upgraded to 2.4.20 (not because of this, because I wanted to), and using essentially same config; problem immediately went away, any chance that kernel-2.4.18.X might have a problem from RH?

Managed to install redhat 7.1 and up2date it on two computers this
weekend after struggling with a few issues and thanks to the help I
received here finished without problems. The machines are running great.

I've installed 7.1 on a third machine last night. However, I'm running
into a problem.

This shows up after I've logged in.

hda: timeout waiting for DMA
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout
func only: 14
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 {Drive Ready SeekComplete DataRequest}
hda: DMA disabled
hda: Drive not ready for command.

Does this mean the hard drive is bad? Or is something else going on? I
can't run fsck because no prompt is available.
I tried re-installing with a check for bad blocks. It took a little
longer but the install occurred. I was able to log on again, but
started receiving this above message again.

Any advice?

Ernie
