Lee,

Hate to be a doomsayer, but my brother has the power switch problem with 
his motherboard.  It works in windoze, but not Linux.  His docs say it's 
a motherboard designed specifically for windoze.  It successfully boots 
either OS, though.

In your case, it could be bios settings.  Have you gone into the bios 
setup and checked things out?  Maybe there's an interrupt conflict or 
the bios is having a problem reading your drives.  You might have to 
configure them manually.

If the bios is having a problem it should notify you, but I'd still go 
look.

Mike
