PIIX: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS) is important. The floppy trace looks similar. They appear to be disabled by the BIOS. Does it have a PNP/nonPNP or DOS/Windows95 bios option you can set to non plug and play and try ?
I checked my bios settings and yes there is PNP setting, but it is off. There is also PCI/PNP or ISA/EISA setting for every IRQ but I'm not sure is it related. I had Redhat 7.0 installed earlier in my machine and it worked OK and I can remember that there were these same lines PIIX: neither IDE port enabled (BIOS) and so on.
I tested rebooting whithout "ide=nodma" append text and it stopped like this: Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 hda11 > hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb4 < hdb5 hdb6 hdb7 > hdd: hdd: chipset supported ide dma timeout func only: 14 hdd: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } I wrote it down to paper so there might be some typos... When I was first time installing RH 7.1 it stopped like this. I checked my cdrom model to get it to DMA black list: [spesonen@haisuli ~]$ cat /proc/ide/hdc/model TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-6402B Here are other ide drives: [spesonen@haisuli ~]$ cat /proc/ide/hda/model QUANTUM FIREBALL EL10.2A [spesonen@haisuli ~]$ cat /proc/ide/hdb/model ST31220A [spesonen@haisuli ~]$ cat /proc/ide/hdd/model ST5850A BR, Sami
I am a newbie. I have the same problem and the same error messages. (RHL 7.1 Pentium 200 ) I have installed the latest kernel (2.4.3-12.i586.rpm)... but I still can't mount dev/fd0. What can I try more ?
Please attach a copy of the messages you get at boot and when you try this
