Did you try booting with 'irqpoll' as the dmesg output suggests? Yes, I did try that, The system will hang immediately after displaying the message:
>> Attempting to mount CD:- /dev/hdb (which is my CD-ROM drive)
The HD light is continuously on, the CD-ROM light is off.
Have you tried another bootable linux CD such as Knoppix? Do older gentoo CDs work? I can boot the machine with BeOS (5.01, full commercial release). Unfortunately, I've been discarding older linux CDs because they tend to have a very short half-life. I did successfully install SuSE 8.0 on the machine a while back. (a few months) Interestingly, I have had intermittient trouble with the Minix boot disk. I can usally get it to boot to the command prompt but the setup utility fails with a kernel panic during the file-copy operation. (actually, a panic in the FS process because Minix is a microkernel...) 2006.1 is out. Can you try this release? Well, there's been two releases since this was reported and there hasn't been a response since I last asked for testing. I'm going to assume that this was FIXED, but since we cannot verify that, we're marking this one NEEDINFO. |
