Any ideas how I can work around this? I've booted from the CentOS 4.2 CD #1 into rescue mode, but I don't know what I should look for next. Other than removing the CD-ROM drive, what can I do to fix this problem?
I'll answer (well, update) my own post. Removing the CD-ROM drive definitely fixes the problem. So, is this CD-ROM drive just not compatible with my motherboard? If so, is there a way to make it compatible (i.e., some jumper settings)? If more details are needed, I can disconnect the computer again, remove it from under the desk (not an easy place to get to), and get the motherboard and CD-ROM drive details. I really want to get this to work. For now, I can live without the CD-ROM. If I need to go an buy a new (compatible) CD-ROM drive, that's OK. I just need to know what I'm looking for.
Thanks, Alfred
