Slackware 9.1 - "hd* : attached ide-disk driver"
Okay guys here´s the pickle. I´m trying to install Slackware 9.1 (must be a surprise). I naturally try booting the instalation from the CD when "boot:" comes up I naturally press enter 'cause bare.i kernel is probably ok for me, I'm going to compile 2.6 when I first get the thing installed. Well after I press enter it starts to load kernel and when it starts recognising the hard-drives, it jams on line "hd* : attached ide-disk driver". Well, I naturally asumed it´s because of my Serial-ata drives (I´m trying to install on ordinary P-ATA -drive, not on serial-ata drive) so I dissconnected the Serial-ata drives and tried again. Well this time all the hard-drives are recognised neatly and the "hd* : attached ide-disk driver" line swoops by them neatly, but now it jams on the line "hd* : attached ide-cdrom driver", and thats where it doesnt go forward.
I tried to dissconnect all my harddrives and try again, no luck. I tried both my dvd-rom and dvd-rw, no luck. I tried my old hp8200 cd-burner , no luck.
so, what do I do? I´d normaly figure this out by myself and with help of my old friend google. But, I´ve tried to install slackware about a week now .. trying diffrent variations, but seems to me that it always jams on cd/dvd-rom.
I know theres someone who can help me, I mean this is growing to be really irritating and brain wrecking.. I know someone has had that same problem, so come on people, little help here.
My motherboard is Asus P4P800 Deluxe and I think the chipset is supported :P so I doubt that it isn´t that.
Oh yeah, one more thing, Mandrake 9.2 and Red Hat 9 instalation starts smoothly without any problems (and no, I wont install them). I apologize for possible typos and little anxious text, but I really need some help here.
