[comp.os.minix] Problems installing Minix on AT

martine@jove.cs.pdx.edu (Martine Wedlake) (02/16/91)

When I boot any of the boot disks I get "Read Error.  Automatic Reboot" and the system
tries to reboot (which of course fails).  The boot disks do work on other machines
such as a 386 and turbo-88 board.

I am running an AT clone with an IDE hard/floppy controller.  (Pulling out the HD
controller and using an 8bit controller didn't work).  I've tried changing the
CPU Speed to a normal 286 speed and no go.

Anybody out there in netland come across this?  Also, in the future I'd like to 
put Minix on my HD, has anyone had any trouble using an IDE controller with Minix?
