no response (status=0xff), resetting drive

[Farab]

Hi

I've recently installed RedHat 7.1 (all packages) and everything works fine exept for the following:

When booting I get the message "hdd: no response (status = 0xff), resetting drive". It's not a huge problem, but just very annoying since it takes a long time to timeout.

My setup:
Primary Master: Harddrive
Primary Slave: <nothing>
Secondary Master : CDROM
Secondary Slave: <nothing>

So, hda is recognised as my harddrive, hdb is not referenced at all(like it should be), hdc is recognised as my CDROM and (for some strange reason) it's trying to detect a device on hdd.

Can someone please tell me why this is happening or how I can force it not to check for hdd?

Regards
Pieter.

Is /dev/hdd being referenced anywhere in /etc/fstab? Did this hard drive ever exist?

No, /dev/hdd is not referenced in /etc/fstab. No, hdd did not exist before. The problem is after a fresh install of RedHat 7.1 (all packages).
