Also, the drives are used in PIO mode (or something awful like that) since the identifiers for the motherboard controllers are not recognized. The latest AC kernel has the identifiers for the IDE controllers, can those patches be incorporated into the std. cooker kernel as well as boot images? The last time I checked, the hd.img boot kernel was 2.4.19 and I'd greatly appreciate one which works at full speed on the nforce2 motherboards. It took > 30 min. to format a 6GB partition during my latest installation! Narfi.
