which distro are you using?
add 'ide=nodma' in kernel line and boot up. check logs again. if it works add the same in menu.lst or grub.conf file.

Hi casper,

Sorry for late reply.
I am using FC4 with the kernel version 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.

Please tell me in which file I need to add the entry ide=nodma.

Thanks Inadvance,
Mummaneni.

in GRUB screen, select Fedora title and press 'e'. add 'ide=nodma' at the end of 'kernel' line and press 'b' to boot up.
