Sigh, ide-generic. With via82cxxx (2.6.8) on a test box here, the IDE disk will only work if ide-generic is present. In /sys I see no hint where ide-generic must and must not be used. If I'm correct, the issue is that ide-generic will manage any IDE chipset that's not handled by any other driver; if another driver is loaded after ide-generic, the IDE devices are already claimed. However, as long as ide-generic is loaded after the chipset drivers, all this ambiguity should not hurt too much. For common hardware, ide-generic is expected to be one of the last drivers loaded. Could you post the output of 'yaird -v' to see if the issue is an ordering problem? Regards, Erik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
