Yesterday my computer (Mdk10) wouldn't boot. The error message was "hda interupt lost" . It kept trying to boot but kept pausing with the same message over and over. I shut down and tried again and it booted normally.
Today, the same thing only I had to power down and up 3 times before it finally booted. Anyone have any ideas about what's going on?

You could have a hardware problem with your hard drive
Your IDE cable between the motherboard and the drive could be bad or not connected properly
Some chipsets have a problem with kernel support for the APIC, which sometimes affects the IDE controllers, so the kernel must be started with some combination of the noapic, nolapic and acpi=ht boot parameters. Try some combination of those (I need all three)
The WinXP partition doesn't have a problem booting and neither did Mdk10, until yesterday. This is something that just popped up.
