Well in 2.2 I believe DMA on ide drives was often on by default, while in 2.4 it is usually off by default. You may want to check that, if you HD is ide (Your message didn't seem to say). Other than that, I can't think of anything different in 2.4 that should affect things. The default aic7xxx driver in 2.4.18 is rather awful, and a new version with many bugs fixed will be in 2.4.19, or can be patched into 2.4.18 by downloading it from the maintainers site (easy to find using google). Since you use an aic7xxx, it might affect things too. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
