Too bad. In my case there is an extra on-board EIDE controller. I have the chipset one and the ATA-100 Promise controller. My issue was caused (in some way I never determined) by this option about booting from chipsets vs. other controllers first, just like Rex. The Redhat kernel correctly handled my hardware while the kernel.org kernel did not. Well, I'm tapped out, but I'll keep thinking. Good luck. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
