A failed or bad installation of X can kill an EIDE bus, so it is possible to do just by software. To try and get back the bus, power on the machine, doing the Cmd-Opt-P-R reset at least ten times (listen for ten chimes), then allow the machine to completely boot. If the devices (more than just the EIDE buses can be affected) are not back, then the mobo may be toast. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
