debian 4.0 hdb error

[lists at barrettpianos.co.uk]

Hi All,

Thanks to John for the command to stop the gdm from starting.

I have it booting to the text login now.

However, I now get the following error message when I login.

hdb: request sence failure: status-0x51Driveready seekComplete 
hdb request sence failure aborting command  error -0x04

The system is not dual boot and there is no other operating system.

Sorry for all the questions but would really like to start using debian.

Thanks

Keith
