Seems a fairly safe assumption that the Linux driver leaves your DVD-ROM

believe the new PATA driver will "win" (judging by the number of people

Repeating information from your first post:
Gigabyte gak8nsp (nforce 3)

1x 80 GB [EMAIL PROTECTED], 1x 250 GB [EMAIL PROTECTED] , IBM (20GB) @

Machine hangs at summary screen where it would be trying a boot from DVD
normally on cold boot, or reboot from Windows. reboot=b doesn't help.

Sorted out, built 2 kernels, one with old driver, other with only new
driver. The one with old driver hangs (it could be because
BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD was enabled?),
using only new drivers works fine.
Thanks for all your help.
