Can you please copy the message accurately, and indicate where the various drives are in the system? The message should start "atapi<digit>.<digit>: ... " The fact that the fields above are all 0xd8 implies that the problem may involve a false probe or other bogus item. The ".IO" that you quote makes me think that this is atapi1.0, ie. master on the second bus, but your CDROM is on the first bus. > Additional Diagnostic Information: > > 1 System will do intial boot from CD Rom player with CD Rom selected as = > intial boot medium.
