Unhappy problem with OS and external hard disk


Hello all
i have a red hat enterprise machine in which i later installed an extra hard disk. Now i tried to install fedora 10 in it. Installation process seems to be ok. Everything goes fine. But after installation when it asks to reboot machine, the machine gets stopped. This seems problem with that extra hard disk. last few lines are like:

sd 3:0:4:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off
sd 3:0:4:0: [sdc] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, supports DPO and FUA
sdc: sdc1 sdc2
sd 3:0:4:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk
sd 3:0:4:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0


Please help me out. I dont know what to do. Am i installing linux in wrong place? Please give me suggestions

Thanks in advance

Looks like your external disk is not spinning up fast enough. Many modern BIOSs have an option to delay the OS boot for a number of seconds in order to overcome this problem.

You can also remove the extra hard disk from your /etc/fstab file, so I won't give trouble during boot. As soon as Fedora 10 is up and running, it will automatically mount any available device anyway under /media - it does so by default on my FC10 box.
