Duh I am blind.. It shares an IRQ with the RAID controller.. atapci0: <Promise PDC20378 SATA150 controller> port 0x7800-0x783f,0x7400-0x740f,0x7000-0x707f mem 0xfb300000-0xfb300fff,0xfb200000-0xfb21ffff irq 18 at device 8.0 on pci0 puc0: <Dolphin Peripherals 4036> port 0x9400-0x941f irq 18 at device 13.0 on pci0 The disks are SATA150 though, no PIO here! -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
