I completely ripped the system apart and started over. On accident i actually grabbed a different HDD out of the closet this time to experiment with. Its an extremely old (i think actually my first ever myth install) 20gig drive with FC3 on it. Stupid thing boots fine and is rockin myth .17 in no time. So now I'm really confused. Something about drive size perhaps, ide access type? I really dont know much about this realm?
