I sent the related dmesg lines, and my .config. for dmesg and .config : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111179215521092&w=2 what part of lspci would you need ? hdparm : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo hdparm -i /dev/hda /dev/hda: Model=Maxtor 6Y160P0, FwRev=YAR41BW0, SerialNo=Y47J8CRE Config={ Fixed } RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=57 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=7936kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=268435455 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120} PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=enabled Drive conforms to: (null): * signifies the current active mode (it shows no mode... it's strange, because this drive should be nearly the same as the following) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo hdparm -i /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: Model=Maxtor 6Y120L0, FwRev=YAR41BW0, SerialNo=Y31LWCXE Config={ Fixed } RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=57 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=2048kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=240121728 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120} PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 *udma6 AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=enabled Drive conforms to: (null): * signifies the current active mode [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo hdparm -d /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: using_dma = 0 (off) (Note : hdparm -i says 'udma6', and hdparm -d says 'no dma'...

But first thing : I have to check if the cables are correctly plugged in (I mean in the correct order)... I didn't have the time to do that yet.
