I had similar problems with that a7n8x-delux board with IDE drives. Random lockups under high HD or network load IIRC. I ended up fixing this by going to ac-sources, which have the proper drivers for the nforce2 chipset. Run "dmesg | grep -i nforce" and see if anything shows up. There'll be an option in the kernel config ATA/IDE/etc->Block Devices <*> AMD and nVidia IDE support There are also nvidia nforce specific options in the Sound section, and under Character Devices->AGPGART. I have these enabled and my A7N8X has been rock solid for a few kernel revs (all ac-sources IIRC), as opposed to when I first got it and it was a crashy POS that felt like a windows 3.0 system on LSD :) HTH alan -- Alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://arcterex.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- "There are only 3 real sports: bull-fighting, car racing and mountain climbing.
