    "The Drive appears confused"

    I've booted Knoppix v3.8.2-2005.05.05EN on my laptop (A Dell Inspiron 8100) without problem. When I tried it on my desktop I got:

    hdd: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason=0x01)
    irq 18: nobody cared!
    handlers:
    [<c02356d8] (ide_intr+0x0/0x120)
    [<c02356d8] (ide_intr+0x0/0x120)
    Disabling IRQ #18
    Welcome to the Knoppix live-linux on CD
    Scanning for USB/firewire devices...... done
    Can't find Knoppix filesystem, sorry.
    Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
    Press reset button to quit.
    Additional built-in commands available:
    cat mount umount
    insmod rmmod lsmod


    etc, etc, etc.
    The motherboard is an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe, with a P4/2.6 GHz processor and 1024 Mb of RAM.

    Any help with diagnosing would be appreciated


    Cheers

    Greg

    I had the same problem on an Asus P4P800 SE. I fixed my problem by disabling IDE enhanced performance in BIOS under IDE Configuration on main screen

    Hope this helps!
