The last kernel was built at 18th of Dec. No problems during boot-up. I tried to switch off the disks in the BIOS, but that didn't help. The discovery messages of the harddisks changed from ad0: 38166MB [77545/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 ^^^^^^^ to: ad0: 38166MB [77545/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSDMA ^^^^^^^ switching off the DMA-mode in the BIOS also didn't solve the problem. I know about the troubles regarding nVidia not publishing the specs for their chipset. Sound and network isn't very critical als i use an Intel-based NIC, but the ATA-problems are confusing me. Now I'm runnin' a kernel from 18th Dec and a userland from 3rd March... I played with atacontrol a little bit as a "last hope" but nothing. Maybe someone can explain this, or do I really have to buy an additional ATA-controller and connect the two 120GB-drives in a Master/Master-configuration? Or did I forgot something to take care about. A diff between my tweaked kernel and GENERIC available through mail, although the changes don't affect the ata-subsystem, but the networking section. so long, greets clemens
