Hi Len, here is the corresponding snippet of dmesg. Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx SIS5513: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:02.5 SIS5513: chipset revision 1 SIS5513: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later Probing IDE interface ide0... hda: IC35L080AVVA07-0, ATA DISK drive hdb: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Probing IDE interface ide1... hdc: HDS722525VLAT80, ATA DISK drive Probing IDE interface ide2...

I commented out the generic part in /etc/modules and added sis5513 at the first line. but lsmod still mentions this: ide_core 146948 28 ide_cd,ide_generic,via82cxxx,trm290,triflex,slc90e66,sis5513,siimage,serverworks,sc1200,rz1000,piix,pdc202xx_old,opti621,ns87415,hpt366,ide_disk,hpt34x,generic,cy82c693,cs5530,cs5520,cmd64x,atiixp,amd74xx,alim15x3,aec62xx,pdc202xx_new this looks horrible to me. i don't know, how that hotplug-thing is working maybe it is due some action it does... greetings Uwe -- ------------------------------- ASUS K8S-MX, 2800+ (754), 512MB, gnuLinux v2.6.x -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
