I've been trying to build a 160GB hard drive using Marks' builder but every time I do it, I am getting an IRQ timeout message while the inode tables are being built. This usually happens around the 14000 mark but varies a little each time. I notice that while they are being built that there are occasionally long pauses between successive tables. Perhaps the builder is just being too impatient with the building of the tables? I've tried this with multiple cables and Empegs so am at a loss as to what is causing this. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Stu
