Sometimes I have to run it twice. =46rom my understanding ATA in 5.4 is slightly broken since Soren hasn't=20 actually touched that code. The last time he touched the 5.x branch=20 was for 5.3. I had a weird issue with a 5.3->5.4 upgrade a while=20 back. My tape drive disappeared :(. I didn't have time to=20 investigate, so I just backed down to 5.3, which works fine while I=20 work up a schedule to migrate to 6.X. =2D-=20 Anish Mistry --nextPart1743638.i7X3C8lih3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBELa1HxqA5ziudZT0RApYHAJ9BtiIDfCSq2WsA3Svn840llgd4+wCg0U9+ BnONgSH1gQPLhtcCre6enT0= =6rPX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1743638.i7X3C8lih3--
