well, i dont have a floppy drive, so that test is a little difficult to do, but i threw some ram in there that i have used in linux before, and i still had the slew of ide error messages. and this harddrive has worked in linux before. i'm getting more and more convinced its an ide controller +linux issue.
plus, i just discovered this: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0109.1/0198.html
which really points to ide controller and linux not fighting nicely together, altho the thread doesnt really point towards a solution.
