Hi

I just installed Mandrake 9.1 on my pentium 1 166 MHz PC.
It works all fine but just before Mandrake boots this messages appear:

hda: timeout waiting for DM
hda: timeout waiting for DM
hda: drive not ready for command

The computer hangs for a short time and then it goes on whitout any
problems.
What is this.
I read some on the newsgroupe that this could mean that my disk is
broken? I read about doing something wrong when compiling the kernel,
but I just used all the standarts from the installer.

Another thing is that my computer has been broken a and I have
replaced the computer and saved the disk. Could this have anything to
do with it?

I sure don't hope my disk is broken but if if it is I would like too
have a warning about it. Pleace help me, I don't know where to start.
I will send log prints if needed.

Venlig hilsen Kresten.
