Initial boot problem with cdrom

[Evgeny Stukalov]

Hi!

I've run into a problem while trying to cross-install
the Hurd. The initial GNUMach boot stops in midway. 
I've checked that no shared irq's are in use, 
and that block size for the Hurd partition is set
correctly.  After checking the archives 
of this list and the debian-hurd mailing list I
recompiled the latest release of gnumach
(gnumach-1.3.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org) with only bare
essentials included (with --enable-ide as the only
driver option), but booting the new gnumach gave the
same results.  Here are the boot lines:

.
.
AT386 boot: physical memory from 0x0 to 0x9c00000
pci bios_init: BIOS32 Service Directory structure at
0x 000f7640
pci bios_init: BIOS32 Service Directory structure
entry at 0xfd7c0
pci bios_init: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfd9d4
Probing PCI hardware.
hd0: ST34323A, 4112MB w/128kB cache, CHS=557/240/63
hd1: Compaq CRD-8322B, ATAPI CDROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0 - 0x1f7, 0x3f6 on irq 14

After that it just sits there indefinitely, until a
key is pressed, which results in kernel panic, or till
I power-reboot.

What seems strange to me, is that Mach boots just fine
when the cdrom drive is removed.  According to the
boot messages that Mach correctly identified the cdrom
drive (which is indeed CRD-8322B), so I wonder what
else is there to try to make it boot normally (besides
unplugging the ide cable from the cdrom drive for
good).

Any insights or pointers are very appreciated. And let
me know if any additional info may be helpful.

Regards,

Evgeny
