Well the box has got an ATAPI CDROM and I remember somebody telling me that I can't have both devices with 'WD vector stealing mode' enabled. Also with having 'WD vector stealing mode' on, any access on the WD devices deadlocks the machine. Updating the firmware on the controller unfortunately didn't help either. You were talking about patches? Are there any urls for thies? Thanks, - Michael On Mon, Oct 25, 1999 at 09:36:29AM -0500, cucu wrote: > I am not sure if there is a major problem.
