Sorry, I am confused,
I have now two hard-drives, the first one is an ATA66 with windows 98,
and the second one is a SEAGATE ATA100 with Mandrake 7.2 runing fine.
I don't know if other hard-disk or mother-board (the mine is a WO"-R)
can have problems.
Of course I have not still tryed with the kernel 2.4, but it should be
better supporting ATA100; I will try soon with the beta thas is comming.
