With some devices turning on LUN support in the BIOS on a 2940 keeps the system from booting at all. Sure I can disconnect the device, build the system, turn off the new default behavior, and continue on my way. No big deal. However, changing the default behavior from "my multi-lun device doesn't work, enable it" to "my system doesn't work, take it apart" might generate some questions. Questions that are the equivalent of "my Mach64 doesn't work, the screen goes blank, what should I do?" I know that the behavior will be changed when Justin gets some time. I'll live with it, again, no big deal. But the direction of change is, I think, ill-considered. -- Mike Murphy mrm@Mole.ORG +1 619 598 5874 Better is the enemy of Good
