See ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support ---> IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices ---> IDE chipset support/bugfixes. I didn't see any support for Nforce2 in there.... Also, this setup worked with Gentoo. They spell Nforce2 as CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD74XX.  Build it in, because if you merely module it you still have to bother to tell dma to come on in an init script.  After installing this and enabling DMA I got a factor of 23 improvement in IO speed. Since we're both nforce2 users, maybe we can help eachother in other ways.  Like damned if I can make alsa work.  :P  -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
