While I was the one who initially had the "trouble", I was thankful for having a "Switch It On by Default" option. I don't exactly know what the patch did to the IDE subsystem (personally I'm not really into IDE...), but I'd unhide a problem (either my dumb drive/controller setup or a bug in Linux' IDE code) and so - one more bug down (at least from my point of view). That's a good thing, IMHO. This *is* why I'm using 2.5.x - there's actually a chance to easily find bugs with everybody's hardware:) MfG, JBG -- Jan-Benedict Glaw jbglaw@lug-owl.de . +49-172-7608481 "Eine Freie Meinung in einem Freien Kopf | Gegen Zensur | Gegen Krieg fuer einen Freien Staat voll Freier Bürger" | im Internet! | im Irak! ret = do_actions((curr | FREE_SPEECH) & ~(IRAQ_WAR_2 | DRM | TCPA));
