Ughh! Spoke too soon. :-( The older PIII machine still crashes in the same manner. This is what I have configured: $ cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i CONFIG_ATA # CONFIG_ATALK is not set # CONFIG_ATA_OVER_ETH is not set CONFIG_ATA=y # CONFIG_ATA_NONSTANDARD is not set # CONFIG_ATA_VERBOSE_ERROR is not set CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y CONFIG_ATA_SFF=y CONFIG_ATA_BMDMA=y CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y CONFIG_ATA_GENERIC=y Also, CONFIG_SATA_PMP=y CONFIG_PATA_ISAPNP=y CONFIG_PATA_ACPI=y CONFIG_PATA_LEGACY=y This is what this old machine contains: # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) ... 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 42) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801CAM ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801CAM IDE U100 Controller (rev 02) I should be able to get onto the P4 later on and see if the problem persists there too. -- Regards, Mick
