please boot your system with "linux ide=nodma" to see if this fixes the problem. If it does, run: for I in /proc/ide/hd*; do echo $I; cat $I/model; done on your installed system and attach the results. Booting the install with "linux ide=nodma" or "linux ide=nodma hda=1247,255,63 hdc=1247,255,63" both result in a hang during formating disks. I did the install successfully - with no parms on the install boot, but putting hda=1247,255,63 hdc=1247,255,63 in kernel parms. However, I immediately got Gnome problems (per the reported problems where your suggestion about ide=nodma). I tried booting the installed system with "linux ide=nodma hda=1247,255,63 hdc=1247,255,63" - Gnome won't complete startup hangs just before creating the panel. So, I'm running with "linux ide=nodma" - this is nervous making because of messages which indicate that /dev/hdc is seen as different goemetry than /dev/hda; however, the ptbl check seems to return the right result???

I'm curious to see what the kernel thinks your disk geometry is. It sounds like your system is up and running now. Are you seeing any more problems? Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have more information. |
