Toshiba Tecra S1 - hangs where you select the disk

[Millerg]

Hi I am trying to install Leopard on a Toshiba Tecra S1 and it takes a few hours to get to the screen where you select the drive you want to install it then it hangs (I even let it go overnight to make sure it was not another long delay). This was with Kaleway 10.5.2. I have tried others but this is the closest to working I have gotten. I also tried other kernels (sleep and speedstep) and they did not work any better. I also tried "platform=x86pc" and it did not help. Safe mode did not help either. There were some really long delays (1 hour+) while loading but I could not find and diagnostics or error messages. I booted Knoppix to gather some info and it is as follows:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My assumption is that there is a problem with the driver for the chipset or ide controller but I don't know what to do.

 

Thanks.

I would really appreciate some advice. Is there anything that jumps out as a potiential issue?

 

Thanks,
