My system details: ExpertColor TX430 M'board, Intel MMX 233 CPU, 128 Meg RAM, AMI BIOS Maxtor Diamond Max 85120A8 HD5.1G connected to IDE socket 1 on Moboard IRQ 14 Pioneer DRA 24X CD-ROM connected to IDE socket 2, as Secondary Master IRQ 15, according to NT MSD Boot sequence is A: then C: I am attempting to use Debian 1.3. My problem is that when attempting to install linux the install routine stops when the cdrom method is invoked, with messages such as;hdc:irq timeout: status=0x51, error 0x60 followed by the message reset atapi i/o error dev 16:00, sector 0. If I remove the cd the message changes to an error x20 (I think). I have successfully disabled the cd-rom via the bios and then installed from the cd, and mounted the cd after installation, but it always regresses to the error messages. On boot up linux does see the cdrom. I would like to understand this problem and resolve it, can anyone shed any light? TIA.
