Okay, I have been searching for days to find a solution to this. I am able to run Hardy Live CD fine and it installs without error. I even tried alternate install CDs -successful install for both Hardy and Intrepid. After install the system gets through most of the boot process but it stalls when scanning the disks (and partitions?)at:
scsi0 : MESH
hde: max request size: 128KiB
with lost interrupt messages and DMA interrupt recovery nonstop. I watch the output up to the hang through the nosplash option in yaboot.conf.
The boot process stops at the same stage in both Hardy and Intrepid.
I have already tried noapic, nolapic, ide=nodma, etc. to no avail. Any ideas?
I have an ACARD 6260 PCI/IDE card with all drives attached as this is a rev.1 B&W.
Help!
