I took a peek at the manual for your MB. You might want to double check the BIOS settings for the hard disk and make sure that LBA/Large mode is set to "Auto". Also, what is the CHS reported by the kernel in the dmesg output? If it says CHS=xxxx/255/63, then LBA mode is active. You might want to try a modified setup command in grub: root (hd0,1) setup --force-lba (hd0) -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
