Er, forgot to say that hdparm is installed and gives this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] darklord]# hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 8 (on) geometry = 78167/64/32, sectors = 160086528, start = 0 I do install as expert, don't even remember that option under v9.1 download edition though - everything was pretty automagical. :-) -- /\ Dark< >Lord \/
