Hi davidMbrooke Thanks for your suggestions.
Here my answers: boot using libata.dma=3: nothing changes, my net4501 does not boot (I have already tried this boot option yesterday) boot using libata.dma=0: nothing changes; the system doesn't boot correctly. (i try to boot anlso without "earlyprintk= " with no success..) This is my syslinux.cfg file: SERIAL 0 19200 DISPLAY syslinux.dpy TIMEOUT 0 APPEND reboot=bios libata.dma=0 console=ttyS0,19200n8 earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,19200,keep VERBOSE=1 DEFAULT /syslinux/linux initrd=/initrd.lrp rw root=/dev/ram0 LEAFCFG=/dev/sda1:vfat There is a "not found" error message from net4801 boot procedure with "libata.dma=0" parameter: is this the right behaviour? .....
