No, I still have the same Sata Drive is just I'm playing with IRQ assignment and configuration. I've changed to BIOS PnP to YES, so my skge (network controller) and libata (Sata Controller are shifted to IRQ 10 But it makes me wonder both controllers on the Motherboard are different chips, so why do they share IRQ? Is there a way to shift them to a different IRQ since Linux control IRQ assignment now? -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
