both drive cables are connected at the same place as before, ie IDE1 & IDE2, which are at the side of the mobo next to the memory slots. as i said earlier, BIOS recognises both drives correctly & those are the slots which the manual says can accept a CD drive (p 20). however, i'm not sure re the correspondence of names: there are IDE1 IDE2 IDE3 IDE4, then HDD0 HDD1 HDD2 HDD3 & in Linux 'hda hdb hdc hdd hde hdf hdg hdh'.; Linux seems to see HDD0 (the hard drive) as 'hde'. can anyone offer clarific'n ? the problem with booting from CD mb due simply to giving the wrong 'HDDn', which i will test later tonight. if i can get the CD drive to boot, i can try to re-install Mdk 9.1 & see if it then understands the new mobo. doesn't anyone know what the Linux kernel panic message implies? mt there be a special problem with Mdk 9.1 (the RAMF rescue diskette is ok)? should i perhaps have to pass some parameter to the kernel at boot? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto
