I'm trying to install 4.5 on my system from CD.  The system hangs
indefinitely somewhere between probing hardware and starting sysinstall.
This is the error I get:

ata1-slave: :identify tries exceeded
ad0: 19574MB <WDC WD205BA> [39770/16/63] at ata0 - master UDMA66
(null): MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting
ata1: resetting devices..

These are the devices that I have on my secondary IDE
Master: Sony CDRW CRX160E
Slave: Creative CD5220-F     0225

I'm wondering what the problem is....
I replaced the cable with a brand new one, no luck.
Also, the Sony drive is UDMA, the Creative drive does not have DMA
capabilities.  However, if I take the Creative drive out and attempt setup
again I get the same message:

ata1-slave: :identify tries exceeded
ad0: 19574MB <WDC WD205BA> [39770/16/63] at ata0 - master UDMA66
(null): MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting
ata1: resetting devices..

So, could someone please help me figure this out?  I have no idea what the
problem
could be.

Thanks in advance.
John
