What do you mean in "what device"? In message? "hdd". And messages from "lvm" about unable to read partition table.

But I don't undestand a simple thing. Yes, there are a problem in work with one device. All OS can resolve this problem, for example - logically disconnect this device. Why Linux dead on this simple problem?

And! After this series of error messages initialization continued! My devices detected, apm manager detected and loaded, AGP bridge detected (IMHO chipset known for Knoppix). I do not see any messages about old NIC... It is not in PnP mode... May be problem in this?
