Sometime Today, Kunal Jhunjhunwala assembled some asciibets to say:
Whenever I boot up my linux machine, it gets stuck on the following :
hda : irq timeout : status 0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
may be a DMA problem. You could fool around with hdparm - at your own risk of course.
try some of the following:
DMA off: hdpard -d0
disable 32bit IO (temporarily to see if it makes a difference) hdparm -c0
disable read ahead: hdparm -A
of course, these commands are not complete, because if they were, you'd be tempted to use them without reading the hdparm man page first :)
so, go read it, understand it, and then try it.
