My system won't boot Linux any more. During boot, it works up to where it
starts giving the error message "hdb: lost interrupt" just after rw mounting
the partitions. It just keeps repeating that over and over, won't do
anything else. When I googled, some sites said that this problem had to do
with dma, and that turning dma off would fix. I tried that, along with some
other kernel parameters "ide=nodma, noapic, noacpi, noapm, nodma" None
helped. I can still boot into WindowsXP, which is on the next partition on
the same hard drive. I can also boot with the Suse LiveCD. Using the LiveCD,
I can access both hard drives, both use the dma option.
Any ideas of what could be causing the lost interrupt, or how to fix it?
