I've been trying to install linux on a grid laptop and when it probes the ide controller ( I think, its after the line starting with hda, identifying the harddrive, one more line comes up then) the system reboots. Anyone know how to fix this? Is there a way to tell it where the HD is so it doesn't have to probe? when I reserve the area it loads the kernal and makes it straight to ash but nothing works in there. Any help would be apreciated. Tom
