Package:  Debian Installation
Version:  1.3

When I try to install Debian GNU/Linux to my machine, every time Debian
tries to write to my hard drive, I get an error.  For example, when I am
following the installation program, and I try to partition a hard disk,
before I even get into the cfdisk program (after selecting which drive to
partition), I get the following error:

hda:  read_intr:  status=0X59  { DriveReady  SeekComplete  DataRequest 
Error }
                               error=0X10   { SectorIdNotFound }  CHS
0/0/53 , sector 52

And then after repeating that same message about six or seven times, it
says this:

ide0:  reset:  success

and then I get the first error six or seven more times, and then the
partitioning program launches.  Now, I can continue with the installation
(partition my disk, etc), but whenever it tried to load files from the
floppies to my hard drive, it gives me that first error again.  I even
got so far as to loading the fifth base disk, but then I get a "kernel
panic" message and it completely shut down.  Is this a program error or
something wrong with my machine?  I'm running a Compaq Deskpro 486/25 22
megs RAM and a 650 meg hard drive.  I can run DOS 6.2 and Windows and any
other DOS-supported program fine and I've never experienced a similar
error before.

I am using Debian 1.3, kernel version 2.0.29
