[nflug] Hardware Issue

[Frank Kumro]

This is a general question not linux specific. My main workstation has
been locking up and fails to boot sometimes. Now locking up means the
mouse still moves but no programs are launched, etc. This machine is
custom built and I cannot figure out what the problem is. After it
locks up or anytime when I try to reboot the computer it hangs on
detecting ide drives then trys to intel pxe boot. After I disconnect
all ide drives, boot with no ide drives connected, reconnect them,
then boot it works. Now does this sound like a HD issue? (I have no
problems with this drive when its running, I just copied over 40gb to
its last nite and it was flawless) Or could this be an issue with the
MB IDE controllers? Any advice would be great because I need this
machine up, i have alot of coding to do (need to pay the bills).
