Forgot to mention another PC with a brandnew Winchester Harddisk of 80 Gb (sorry I don't have the specs handy) and on the motherboard a chipset of atapci0: <VIA 82C596 ATA66 controller> This combination does boot, but X always crashes. Modifying the loader.conf again solves this problem. Rob. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
