I'm trying to set up a dual boot WinXP and SXDE: On a Dell Latitude D620 (bios A9), I ran the install from DVD, which got as far as grub, checking the hardware, then the visual menu and choosing an upgrade/fresh install, which partition etc.. Since I only have the Dell partition and a windows xp partition, I then backed out and used partition magic to create a 20g partition on which to install SXDE.
However when I run the installation from DVD this time, I can go past the grub menu but I now get ata warnings and errors: warning /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 1f,2/ide at 0(ata0): timeout: abort request, target=0 lun=0 (a number of similar ones like this and then a couple of ones like): Error for command 'read sector' Error level: informational Sense key: aborted command Vendor 'Gen-ATA' error code:0x3 Out of 3 attempts, it either repeated the errors/warnings or once, kept ringing the system bell for about 20 seconds and then looked like it was loading (the | spinny thing was spinning :), but never did anything else... Any idea's on how to fix this? This message posted from opensolaris.org
