Clark cjclark@home.com The ATA driver currently will not work with either the RZ100x or the CMD640. It panics. This is a known issue, but the maintainer considers it low priority since both of these chipsets are broken, could cause data loss, and shouldn't be used anyway. Perhaps you should pick up a Promise IDE controller for about $30. Greg -----End Forwarded Message----- Note that one thing I said was incorrect, if I build a kernel with no ATA support, it will boot... but a lot of good that does me. Although I could make the system all SCSI. An all SCSI P90... that would be neat, huh? -- Crist J.
