First of all I would like to let you all know that i am a big linux noob. And now my problem: Every time during bootup, whether im using vector or gentoo, the following appears after it detects my hda2/hda1 (root and swap):

hde: no response (status=0xfe)
hdg: no response (status=0xfe)
hde: no response (status=0xfe) , resetting drive
hde: no response (status=0xfe)
hdg: no response (status=0xfe) , resetting drive
hdg: no response (status=0xfe)

I've checked in my bios to make sure there aren't any other bootup searches in post, but coulnt find it.

My rig:
2500+ oc'ed to 3200+
Asus A7N8X Deluxe rev. 2.0
2x 512mb Corsair XMS pc3200
running off of my linux HD which is an 8gig seagate

How many CDrom drives do you have in your box? Usually hde/hdg are optical drives. You might want to make sure you're not trying to mount them at boot to anything. The place to check is in /etc/fstab.
