I am trying to install FC2 on a Dell Dimension
8300, with a Seagate Model ST3120026AS SATA 120Gb hard drive.
The controller is an Intel 82801ED Ultra ATA Storage Controller. I
have repartioned the drive with Partition Magic and formatted the last 20Gb as
ext2. There are no errors on either partition and the machine boots into
XP normally. Upon starting the installation with the known
geometry,
boot: linux hda=14589,255,63
I get the following error message:
hda: IRQ probe failed
hda: no response
hda:non-IDE drive, CHS=14589,255,63
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hda Invalid Geometry: 255 Physical
heads?
ide-default: hda: Failed to register the driver
with ide.c
Kernel panic: ide: default attach
failed.
The machine is of course locked up.
Help appreciated.
