Yep, I still have a problem. It happened again, as I was going into dosemu. So I guess this will have to be looked at after all. Just called my computer person. I suspect it's either the cdrom (hdd) or something with the ide itself, as hdc functions in other environments (zipspeak, DOS, using a debian rescue disk), also still opens and closes and makes sounds like it's loading when I boot. the person working on my computer wants to know whether DMA is being used or trying to be used and wants me to try not using it; this would be in my kernel compile, wouldn't it? Thanks.
