Hi,
  I really new to Ubuntu and Linux.  I've played with Mandrake 8.2, 9.1, had 
the earlier version of Ubuntu installed on a laptop once.
  My problem is I've installed Ubuntu on a home built PC with 6 30G hard 
drives, Pentium 3 and 512MB memory a SCSI controller for the DVD drive and 
CD-RW drive.  Two Romtec Trios control which hard drive is booted.  Each 
Trios controls three drives.
  I had no problem installing the software but after removing the CD and 
rebooting, I get the message:

Uncopressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
Loading, please wait...
[4294691.913000] Buffer I/O error on Device hda, logical block 0
[4294692.802000] Buffer I/O error on Device hda, logical block 0
ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exists.  Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.00-pre10 (Debian 20040623-1ubuntu22) Built-in Shll (ash)
enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
#

I allowed Ubuntu to format and configure the hard drives the way it wanted 
to.  I've installed the same software on my laptop with no problems.

Thanks for your help

Ernie
