The machine is an Everex 1800A and the hard drive is a Miniscribe 6053.

Everything was working fine when I was using the original Everex hard
drive controller <which uses all WD chips>.  I replaced it with a
Western Digital 1006-MM2 controller.  Now when I turn the machine on,
I get 'hard disk controller failure press F1 key to RESUME' at this
point, if I hit ctrl-alt-del the machine restarts and boots from the hard
drive as it should.  
I have reformatted the drive with the new controller.
 
Can anyone tell me why it is doing this???

Oh, the AT BIOS is AMI.

Thanks,
Charles
