older kernels don't have udma support. what kernel version are you using? i've also read a rumor somewhere that all hd devices in a system have to be udma compatible, as in all or nothing, and that older model cd-r's can be problematic. again, it's a rumor, but maybe it gives you something to work with. ben ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
