A little update on this: I have upgraded my motherboard from Tyan S1854 (Award bios) to Tyan S2510 (Ami. Megatrends bios). Same Promise TX2000, same disks. same array. 5.4/6.0 install cds boot *fine*. So is bios change the significant factor here?. What I do notice is that the 5.4 (and 6.0) cd boot is quite slow compared with (say) 4.10 - presumably the newer code is doing a whole lot more probing(?) regards Mark Daniel O'Connor wrote: > On Saturday 25 June 2005 21:26, Daniel O'Connor wrote: > >>Hmm I see..
