[ snip ] For the archives: Pertinent system details: Asus P55TVP4 mainboard, latest official BIOS w/Intel 430VX PCI chipset Quantum LPS270A IDE hdd (/dev/hdb1) Through rigorous testing, the following .config lines must be set differently than the stock 2.2.19-3-LEAF kernel: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD=n CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE=n CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y This could be due to either the mainboard or hdd, or both ;> NOTE: It's been along time since I've been bitten by this; but, it is absolutely imperative that one of the 'make config' processes be run prior to any 'make zImage', when run on a brand new, pristine /usr/src/linux -- otherwise, 'make __Image' will *not* work ;> -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .
