The stupid thing is, I have neither. (Even my CDROM is IDE, and now
that's not working under Windows, either.) I let it sit for half an
hour to see if it'd finally wake up, and nothing. Is there any way
to tell loadlin to throw linux into a verbose mode that might tell
me _what_ it's scanning?
This is really annoying.
