I have a Dual Boot Fedora Core 5/WinXP system with SATA HDD, IDE
DVD-R/RW DL, and a SATA DVD/CD-RW. When the SATA DVD/CD-RW is connected
I get ata1 errors (timeout, abnormal status). When disconnected
everything is fine. I want to exclude this device from Linux so I can
leave it connected for when in WinXP. Is there a way to mark a device
to be excluded? |

have you tried removing its reference from /etc/fstab? or just don't
mount it.
