Please remove the "joseph_m._o'connor" cc: until they fix their machine. It just rejects sendmail sessions. On Mon, 19 Aug 1996, Jeffrey M.

See, my machine does it too: pci0:12: CMD, device=0x0640, class=storage (ide) int a irq 14 [no driver assigned] It means that the CMD controller doesn't have a specific driver to go with it (and it doesn't).

Don't know about that. Sounds more like a cable or controller or IRQ clash than just a missing driver.
