Well since you're in UDMA mode, I guess PIO timing should not mess? Though I'm not specialist with it, I think UDMA and PIO are two different things? > Attached are: > 1) dmsg's of the Systems 2)ac > 2) first 512byte of hda/hdb > 3) partitionstabel (fdisk) > > I am not a kernel-hacker....but this _is_ a serious problem of the kernel > 2.4.17-15mdkBOOT.

If there are any questions about my (hardware)configuration just We do our best but there are a large number of problems and no all of them are easily fixable.. > contact me and ask.
