Well, while this isn't a problem that causes panics or makes people unable to use their machines, I think maybe the removal of the older wd driver ought to be held off until the ata driver provides all the features wdc does don't you think? I guess the philosophy here is that there shouldn't be driver redundancy in a -RELEASE or something? I will continue to use ata because my drives work (albeit in PIO mode apparently) and I don't play audio off the cdrom. Some people will probably hold off on upgrading to 4.0 because of this, and I don't know if anyone important cares about that but imho it kind of looks bad. Just a thought. Again, my box works, just not as advertised :). Could very well be user error, I just don't know. -will On Tue, 14 Mar 2000, Kris Kennaway wrote: > On Tue, 14 Mar 2000, Patrik Sundberg wrote: > > > I also get this when booting - think it started happening when I started > > using the new ata-driver.
