Decided to go with Redhat9.0... cd loads and gets to...
 

ehcd-hcd 00:10.3: Pci Device 1106:3104

it gets here and then stops. the system isn't freezing... i waited a little while ( like 5 minits ) dunno if im being impacient or not but it figured i would ask about it before i waited an hour and it not do any thing.

It tells me all this just after telling me my HD's and CD roms are HDC HDD and the like
