I haven't been able to boot it at all. Everytime I boot, I get the following kernel output regarding my drive: hda: IBM-DJSA-220, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x8x01f000-0x8e01f007, 0x8e01f160 on irq 19 hda: Enabling Ultra DMA 4 hda: IBM-DJSA-220, 19077MB w/1874kB Cache, CHS=38760/16/63, (U)DMA Partition check: hda:<7>ohci-control thread code for 0xc06370e0 code at 0xc0167d18 hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt hda1hda: lost interrupt hda2 hda3hda: lost interrupt hda4 hda5hda: lost interrupt hda6 hda7hda: lost interrupt hda8 hda9hda: lost interrupt hda10 hda11 RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 EXZT-fs warning: maximal count reached, runing e2fsck is recommended VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt hda: lost interrupt It finds the bus and the drive, but hangs trying to mount. So, I tried to reinitialize the device map using pdisk. Unfortunately, pdisk run under the MacOS is unable to recognize the device (I type "e /dev/ata2.0" at the command prompt, but it says "pdisk: can't open file '/dev/ata2.0'"). From the get info in MacOS, I know that the hard drive is id 0 on bus 2 of the ata, so that command should be correct. pdisk, however, only recognizes '/dev/ata0.0', which is the internal DVD-ROM drive. How can I get Linux to recognize the drive? Will downloading the newest dev. kernel from Paul M's site help, or am I stuck? Why doesn't pdisk recongnize my drive?
