I'm trying to install Linux on a friend's box.  Windows 98
installed fine, but Redhat 6.1 is giving me some troubles.
I get the following errors during the install:

hda: write_intr: status=0x71 { DriveReady DeviceFault
     SeekComplete Error }
hda: write_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound },
     LBAsect=12337921, sector=12337921
 
-and-
 
hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveREady SeekComplete
     DataRequest Error }
hda: read_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound },
     LBAsect=21096835, sector=99080

Here is some info about the system:

AMD K6-2 350 Mhz with 64 Mb RAM
hda: FUJITSU MPD3108AT (10 Gb IDE Hard Drive)
Host Bridge: VIA Technologies VT 82C597 Apollo VP3 (ref 4).

IDE Interface:
    Bus 0, device 8, function 0
    VIA Technologies VT 82C586 Apollo IDE (rev 6).
    Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  Master capable.
    Latency=63.  Min Gnt=3.  Max Lat=1.
    Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe4000000
    Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe5000000

The hard drive is not bad.  I tested it in my other Linux system
and it worked beautifully.  And the hard drive seems to function
perfectly while intalling and using Windows 98.  But when I go
to install Redhat 6.1 all hell breaks loose.  I've never seen
this type of hard drive error.  Any help would be *greatly*
appreciated.  Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,
