I wonder if acpi is doing it, have you tried acpi=on or even acpi=off?

I think that just keeps the kernel init output supressed. Not 100 percent sure. At boot your machine probably wont recognise scd as a valid device, I think this line is ok. > > > 3rd idea: > > The fstab doesn't make any reference to hdd.

Correct. hdd becomes scdX after devfs is mounted and the scsi drivers are loaded. Unless of course your drives are mixed up from where they were before. When you were editing your bios did you change any power management settings? > > Jesse -- Nick W (nickw77 at shaw.ca) Registered Linux User #324288 (http://counter.li.org) MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo: foolish_gambit ICQ: 303276221 Trusting Microsoft with your computing is like trusting your dog with a steak. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
