Thanks for all your help, hopefully my problem is now resolved. I am using the idle=pass argument in my lilo.conf (reading man lilo.conf made me realize my prior mistake) and ACPI is not compiled in my kernel (in fact, no power management modules are). I never did figure out how to use the hdparm

acpi=off, idle=poll give un "unrecognized token" error upon running lilo. Is there a specific stanza these need to be in? I have lilo 22.5.9. How exactly do I change UDMA3 with hdparm? I am still unsure as to how this is done. I do not think it is necessary for me to use acpi=off, since all powe

Thanks for responding! I tried adding idle=poll to lilo.conf, but when I run lilo to upadte it I get an "unrecognized token 'idle' at or above line X' Is there a specific stanza where this needs to be added? I thought it might be a lilo versioning issue, but I seem to have the newest version (22.

Hi all, I'm sure many of you have heard of or experienced the nForce lockup problem. I was going through hell because of it, then fixed the problem by recompiling without APIC (or whatever that advanced power thing is). Everything was great until I decided to upgrade to kernel 2.6.5 (from 2.6.4).
