Hi, I just installed RedHat 9 - Workstation version, and here is what I'm getting every time I start my computer:

---STARTS HERE---
Partition check:
hda:<4>hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: (__ide_dma_test_irq) called while not waiting
hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }

hda: drive not ready for command
blk: queue c03c9f40, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
hda1 hda2 hda3
hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: (__ide_dma_test_irq) called while not waiting
hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }

hda: drive not ready for command
---ENDS HERE---

How do I fix it??

Do you have DMA enabled in the bios?
