Yo-
I recently removed my Windows drive from a machine that runs Debian 95%
of the time. The previous arrangement was as follows:
/dev/hda Windows (master primary controller)
/dev/hdb Debian (slave primary controller)
/dev/hdc CD-ROM (master secondary controller)
I removed /dev/hda (Windows) and switched the Debian drive cable and
set the jumper to master. I *thought* I was thinking ahead when I
re-configured LILO to boot from the actual Linux drive instead of from the
boot sector on the Windows drive. I ran /sbin/lilo and I also configured
fstab before I physically removed the drive.
After removal Linux will not boot. The BIOS detection of the HDD also
takes about 2 minutes whereas previously it took about 5-10 seconds.
Debian error says, "DMA reset, irq timeout {SEEK ... SEEK ... }' etc..
I am unsure of what is actually wrong. I also booted with a rescue disk
and a boot disk but both will die with error, "Unable to open Initial
Console."
Any help appreciated. I am running 2.0.32.
Thanks,
Ian
