Just as a counter-point, both my machines have 9.1 *as upgrades* from 9.0. This machine has the HDs on IDE2 and IDE3; the SMP box @ work has them on IDE2 and IDE4. So it *does* work on some configurations! M/Bs are MSI 694D (with a Promise 2 channel PCI card add-in); ASUS A7V133 with the on board Promise RAID/IDE set to IDE. So it smells like a Gigabyte M/B problem.. /Kevin -- Kevin J.
