There is still something buggy, and I know this sounds obscure but I am not Guru enough to comprehend it all. But I have stated more than once that there is some kinda error in the kernel over sata where when I first loaded FC5 everything was regarded as /dev/sd* and now I get complaints where /dev/hd* isn't found, especially with the DvD. md: ... autorun DONE. hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0 hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0 hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 8 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 1 hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 16 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 2 hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 24 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3 hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 813440 hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 0 EXT3 FS on dm-0, internal journal kjournald starting.

Priority:-1 extents:1 across:2031608k The first thing on /dev/hda is my damn DvD, the second thing is a 200Gig harddrive, both almost brand new. When I boot, the boot from CDROM fails (correctly) and it goes to the harddrive and everything is cranking up like it ought to. Then it starts to fall apart looking for things that do not bear checking, like drive-ready on a Dvd. I didn't have this problem at first. Everything was s m o o t h ... now it's blowing up. <--- technocrati speak, huh? Once again, someone please point me to what file I need to eyeball to see where it's getting confused, so I can state this problem with a little but more correct verbage and not appear to be ranting like Grandma, "If you don't fix the problem you can't have any PUDDING!"
