CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI is Y on the LiveCD kernel, but CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO isn't so it shouldn't fire up unless the user wants so via hdparm. - -- Gustavo Zacarias Gentoo/SPARC monkey -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDhOOiV3G/IBCn/JARAgU7AJ0QtxUs39xaw8lUtyyLYUPxnnf7WwCbBn0E WJM0+W5qfNvw5nPy9bX+Ejg= =RIrw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] mailing list
