Looks like an old harddisk that does not understand an IDE command.
it can last two or three minutes and then I have accsess to my
Gnome Desktop.
Do you think that's normal? I can come up in less than 60 secs. (80x25), so I
presume boting X does not take much more time than 3 minutes.
What do you mean by "last"?
like, idle? No other stuff scrolling through?
