I assume that you have entered into and reset your BIOS settings to probe and recognise the new devices and their order, every time you connect/disconnect a device from the box? Most modern mobo's do so automatically, but occassionally require that you manually intervene (I know I had to do so a couple of times) -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
