Hi Everyone, I've purchased a new Gateway E5400 and forgot to check the IDE chipsets used. Well, they've switched to the Intel 820 chips, in particular the PCI components are all based on the 82801AA controller (for the bridge, ide, etc.). I went to install 7.1, and the kernel hangs when it begins the PCI probe. Anyone else run into this? Gateway had been shipping these with the Promise controller, and everything went smoothly with the 7.1 install. As an additional gotcha, I successfully installed on a system that uses the 82801AB controller (Intel has two, and from what I gather, the AB is the ATA/33 variety, while the AA is the 66). Any hints? -Bill _____________________________________ William Danforth, U.S. Geological Survey 384 Woods Hole Rd, Woods Hole, MA 02543 voice: (508) 457-2274 fax: (508) 457-2310 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________________
