[install] hdc irq timeout problem

["Ian" <ian.bambury@virgin.net>]

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: 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.
