Hi Guys,
THEN: Had two harddrives(sata), WinXP on one, Fedora 6 on the other. GRUB is installed on MBR on disk 1. Due to something(I don't remember what), to recognise both my disks, I passed parameters namely 'pci=nommconf' & 'all-generic-ide' to the kernel in GRUB. Everything was fine.
NOW: I bought a 320GB(sata) hardrive, connected it, created some experimental partitons using Windows as well as Fedora, and here is where the problems lies. I am unable to boot into Fedora on the GRUB prompt. It says something like
Code:
Nobody cared, xxxxxx.., blah blah, 0fxfxfxfxfx, TRY BOOTING WITH "IRQPOLL"
So I passed 'irqpoll' parameter to the kernel. It still says "nobody cared" but boots nonetheless. And when I get the desktop, it keeps hanging every few minutes(seconds too maybe). Everything is a drag on the desktop.
So what can I do now? Haven't tried Fedora 7 yet, but want to. Hopefully I don't have to pass anything to the kernel there (or do I?
)
Some help
Thanks
