First there is no reason to repeat the steps. And no reconfigure does not
work.In fact, the system will not be able to boot. If you motherboard has
AHCI support but you have selected IDE, then change this in your BIOS,
reconfigure and try to boot. Your system will fail to boot. I have seen
this with OI 148. I am not sure but I believe the problem is file
/etc/path_to_inst.
