I amtrying toinstall 1.4_rc4 off the install cd,I think I have now ruined 3 HD's. The machine is a Gateway 500S. With an intel 865G chipset. Original 1 HD 40G Maxtor Fireball 3, I added another WD400BB 40gdrive as slave. When the drive is new it will boot it up fine, I infact installed all of 1.4 all the way through the install using hdb1 as a /home onlydrive. Install went fine, but upon booting the first time the machine hangs. It will not boot again with the WD drive? No matter what I try the WD will not allow the machine to boot. I can boot into mynew gentoo system fine as long as I leave the WD drive unplugged. So I tried another out of the box. It boots the CD fine and ran fdisk /dev/hdb and partitioned it as hdb1 and made an ext3 out of it. I even mounted it and wrote to it using the CDbooted system. As soon as I boot again I'm back to the same problem. It will not boot with the WD drive. Anyone have any suggestions??
