After this, the machine hangs and doesn't respond to anything but a push on the Big Red Button. A few days later, this was fixed by Soren (sp?) but it broke again as I recompiled my system yesterday (This was the first time after it had been fixed, so I don't know when exactly it broke). Harddisks: Western Digital Caviar (2.0 GB), non-DMA and Western Digital Caviar (2.5 GB), DMA-33. Mainboard: Asus P5A-B Super7 Chipset: ALi Aladdin V AGPset Taking the UDMA disk out doesn't help. Everything works just fine with the WD driver... Any ideas? Theo van Klaveren http://phoenix.student.utwente.nl / ICQ #1353681 - Why, oh why didn't I take the _blue_ pill?
