 Progress goes as far as getting to where the Live CD of Alpha 2 checks for
 hard disks.

 It throws an "ATA 0/1 Error Bit Is Set" error when locating the HDD's,
 which there are two of.  ATA 0, ATA 1 which I see in KDL.

 KDL message: "PANIC: Unable to find bootable partition" or a message very
 similar.

 Status: 0x51
 Error:  0x54

 I have a blank partition for installation of Haiku, where Alpha 1 formerly
 resided.

 ALPHA 1 LOADS FINE!  Alpha 2, not so much.  My disc of Alpha 2 loads
 perfectly on another PC, it isn't the media.

 I disabled DMA, USB in the BIOS and that did not help.  I have forced PIO
 4 mode in BIOS for the HDD's, that didn't help either.

 I have toggled / enabled every safe mode setting of Haiku and nothing
 works.  I spent a whole night trying to get it working.

 Hardware: Shuttle Socket-A AMD motherboard, nForce 2 Ultra 400 chipset,
 old Athlon XP CPU.  ATA/100 HDD transfer, not SATA.  This is hardware from
 2002/2003.  A Western Digital 120GB drive and a Maxtor 80GB drive I
 believe.
