I configured >it with flas 0x80ff80ff. I've had no such problem. My equivalent boot messages are: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): , 32-bit, multi-block-16 wd0: 1378MB (2822400 sectors), 2800 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S And my appropriate kernel config lines are: controller wdc0 at isa0 port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 flags 0x80ff disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 flags 0x80ff device wcd0 It seems the only difference in our setups is that I put the flags on the device declaration while you put them on the controller declaration (and, of course, our laptops are made by different manufacturors). I have no idea why mine works and yours doesn't, but at least this is more data for you. -- David E.
