This is my first time so bear with me. I like linux a lot so far.
Here is what I see at start up. when it stalls, not stop takes a full
minute then continues. but it is annoying to wait for.

NFORCE2: IDE controller at PCI slot 00:09.0
NFORCE2: chipset revision 162
NFORCE2: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later

<and here is when waits a min. then goes again>
hde: no response (status = 0xfe)
<and here is when waits a min. then goes again>
hdg: no response (status = 0xfe)

Then it goes through the rest of the boot just fine.
Is there some way to take out hde: wait and hdg:?
And what is it?

thx guys.
