md driver problem



Hi all!

I've been trying to install Linux (Suse, Debian, RedHat...) in a Pentium MMX
200 with 3 hard disks and a cdrom, but with either distribution, the boot-up
process hangs up in the same place (never mind whether started from DOS boot
disk, Linux boot disk, cdrom...). This is the output I get:

    ................
    hda: Maxtor 90432D3, 4121MB w/256 cache, CHS=8374/16/63
    hdb: SAMSUNG WINNER-3 WN32543A(2.5GB), 2423MB w/109kB cache,
CHS=4924/16/63
    hdc: ST3290A, 249MB w/64kB cache, CHS=1001/15/34
    hdd: MATSHITA CR-585, ATAPI CDROM drive
    ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1ft,0x3f6 on irq14
    ide1 at 0x170-0x177, 0x376 on irq 15
    no cont in shutdown
    floppy0: FDC access conflict
    Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
    trying to lock fdc while usage count = 0
    floppy0: no floppy controllers found
    md driver 0.35 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8

Of course I've got a floppy disk controller. I've tried disabling it but the
results are the same. I would appreciate any help because now I've been
trying to install linux in this computer for almost six months and in the
meanwhile I have to use linux on a 386.

Please help me!!!!

Regards
