Attached are dmesg's from the two boots.
I am having other problems with my primary hd, unsure if they're related.
I originally bought a new motherboard due to DMA reset errors. I still
get them if I try to switch DMA on, but at least the computer doesn't
freeze anymore. I'm using an Abit KT7, so I'm downloading a new BIOS
patch. That comes after fixing this hdd problem (fix problems one at a
time); I think I might buy a new master hd before long anyway. I will
try juggling the cdrom/hdd -> cdrom/hdc and get back to the list. Note
that windows sees hdd too (using fdisk of course, as with no windows
partitions it isn't going to turn up as D:).
