My problem is if I try fdisk /dev/sd0 or mount /dev/sd0, the machine just hangs. I waited 15 minutes for an error message but got nothing. I was able to get my prompt back with ^C. Here is part of dmesg and, as suggested by a responder to an earlier post, part of my kernel file. The 01 flag was just an experiment, I also booted a kernel without it and had the same problem. I thought I read something about going with "Nibble Mode" so I put it in. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks. Greg (I know my return address is screwed up, I just don't know how to fix it.
