Dear Alexander, thanks for the help but I must be doing something wrong, I did this to grub.conf but I still have the boot hanging problem:Am Di, den 20.01.2004 schrieb David Kistner um 19:06:
When I boot by Fedora Core-1 machine the system has always hung for a number of seconds during the process:
hde: no response (status = 0xfe)
hdg: no response (status = 0xfe)
I Googled these messages and it sounds like a SATA issue with my Abit NF7-S. I'm not using the SATA, only PATA for two hard drives along with a CDrom burner. Anyway, I Googled and found the following recommendation to solve this:

I tried putting this line into my /boot/grub/grub.conf file but it didn't help. I thought maybe I'm putting it in the wrong place. Here's a copy of my grub.conf file......where should I place hdg=none and hde=none? Or is there something else I should be doing?

Old line:

New line:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi rhgb hde=noe hdg=noe
All these things like "rhgb" or "hdc="ide-scsi" are kernel parameters. You could also set "apm=off acpi=on". Using lilo they are given the kernel with append="hde=none" i.e.
