[ILUG] Kernel Panic

[Declan Grady]

I dusted off (literally) an old 486DX4/100, added 2 more 8 Meg simms, a 1.2
gig ide disk and stuck in a redhat boot floppy (made with rawrite from the
redhat 7.0 cd)

It boots, and I type  'expert'  (seeing as i is one ;) ) but...

All is ok until I get to ...

hda: WDC AC21200H, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hda: WDC AC21200H, 1222MB w/128kB Cache, CHS=621/64/63
Floppy drive(s):fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306
md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MAX_REAL=12

and thats it ... is this a hard disk problem ?

The mobo has an onboard NCR-SCSI bios and there is a 540 meg scsi disk, but
I disabled the onboard scsi controller, as I think there are probs with that
controller anyway, from memory.

Suggestions ?  (Apart from "recycle it")

Cheers,
