You might try disabling harddrake and hotplug, as part of your testing. This would also help you tell whether it's the kernel or other apps dragging the box down. chkconfig --del harddrake (this will disable probing for new devices at boot) chkconfig --del hotplug (this will disable anything from running at the insertion of the device) Now you may need to modprobe appropriate modules to make the device visible in dmesg. If the box still panics, then it's definitely the kernel. You can re-enable with 'chkconfig --add foo' (replace foo appropriately) -- Stew Benedict Mandrakesoft --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
