Kernel settings? I'll have a look at it since I compile my own kernel. You may have hit on something with the chipset - "Intel 430TX PCIset" with "PCI Bus Master" IDE controller. I do have PNP cards on the PCI bus, but all of them are recognized and initialized properly. If I upgrade the kernel to 2.0.34, do you think that might fix this situation? -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. ....- -.-. .. -.- -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
