	What are the ground rules here? I recall that the idecdrom had to
be in a specific location on the controller. Is this still the case? I
would prefer to have mine ( Diamond Multimedia 8x, the dos probe calls
it a stingray for some reason ) on the second ide controller, because the
first controller is full!

	I would be happy to swap the thing around and try something if it
would help, however. Which snapshot should we try? the 2.2 one or the
2.1.6 one?

	tx S'ren!
