On Linux ACPI/USB seems to be evolving fast and seems to have gliches. If I have mu mouse on USB, my boot fails :-( Second booting, I remember, fixed it. I deal this by plugging mouse later. I have hotplug package installed. Try booting without drive and plug in later. IMHO, USB/ACPI/Firewire are still flaky even on 2.4. I ever bothered to patch with latest patches. It seems there are enough fixes going on... New hardwares are always bitch on Linux. -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cupertino CA USA, GPG-key: A8061F32 .''`.
