I've the next very interesting problem: randomly at boot, the kernel correctly start, but when it searches, it cannot find the disk, from which is it running. I've got a new Intel VX MB with 32M ram, and two old disk: an IBM 270MB (Dos, Coherent), and a Conner 540 (Dos, FB). The disks are OK, on my previous MB, they work fine. And sometimes, it works OK now, but sometimes I have to try to boot 2-10 (or more) times the kernel correctly find that disk. (I have of course kernel on wd1 in my kernel config file.) I think, something is wrong with my hardware setup, but doesn't know too much about such things. This MB has a built in ide controller. -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.
