No, you're not the same.
I'm having these *same* problems too (I decided to not to use Lothar %-) )
My hardware is :
ASUS P5A bios 1.007
I too have 2 HD and a Plextor 8/4/32A (IDE) and an AOPEN cd-drive
And I too have an NE2000 (0x300 , 5) but with a SB16 non PNP , but these
didn't create problems.

I HAD this same problem too, and I resolved it unloading the IDE-SCSI
module, then removing Supermount, then rebooting, then reloading IDE-SCSI
module.
These are the steps I followed, but I think the problem resides in the
supermount.
In fact I reinstalled AIR and this time I chose to not to use supermount
and it didn't give me this problem (without having to disable the IDE-SCSI
module)

I do appreciate A LOT the completeness of the wm in AIR, it's probably the
best I've ever seen in a Linux distribution.
:-)))
However, I think that the problems in AIR (the problems *I* noticed, I
mean) are bearable, (except for Lothar) , since I resolved all of them and
I don't think to be wizard :-)
Why doesn't get out an updated AIR?
I mean a 7.0-4 (for example) version of the ISO image, it would be so nice!
(and SO perfect!)
See you and thanks again
