hmmm guess not many testers then ;) could you please file a bug report upstream bugzilla.kernel.org the ide maintainer is quite active and they'll sort if that is really an hardware failure or just an wrong assumption in ide. post their lspci -vv and dmesg please let us know the upstream bug number so that we can mark it as forwarded. thanks a lot. -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
