3) hda : statuis timeout : status= 0xd0
4) ide : failed opcode was : unknown
5) hda : drive not ready timeout
6) hda : ATAPI reset complete

When I select AHCI in BIOS , my installation get HUNG at :

What to do ?

My HDD is a 250 GB and Sata.

Awaiting for some feedback ...

Hi,

Here's wht I can recollect !!

1. install VICIDIAL on other board which detects disks as SATA.
2. update the kernel to a latest one (PAE kernel if u have >4gb ram).
3. put installed SATA disk on desired motherboard and add “ide[n]=noprobe” (where n = device number) (this will cause not to probe the disk as IDE)

Also try n c wht happens aftr diabling DMA
Hope this helps.....

How to disable DMA ?

Try and see if you can install CentOS 5.2 on your server. We're updating VicidialNOW to be based on CentOS 5.2 to address installation concerns over newer motherboards and hardware. Let us know if CentOS 5.2 installs on your hardware.

I tried using IDE drive also... but it diodnt work also..

Somehow, my MOBO BIOS is not supporting centos...
