Hello All,

It boots 7.1-RELEASE from the CDROM just fine but when boots from an IDE
disk it crashes right after loading the kernel:

Booting from the USB produces exactly the same crash. I know that the
BIOS of this board is buggy although it is latest.
I am curious why it boots from the CDROM but cannot boots from the IDE
disk. I just disconnect the CDROM and connect the IDE disk. The same IDE
disk boots fine on other hardware. I have tried with 7.1-PRERELEASE
which is 2-3 months older than 7.1-RELEASE and it crashes in same way.


Any ideas what may be wrong?

Best regards
