Oops, nope, sorry. :) The phrase, "pci=assign-busses" should be added to the end of the "kernel" line that appears in GRUB. Basically, put the cursor on the line that starts with "kernel", then type "e", then press the spacebar and type in the string "pci=assign-busses" with no quotes and no additional spaces. When you're done, hit <Escape>. Then the letter "b" to boot. If it works better, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the string to the end of the first "kernel" line that you find (the first one is typically the default in an Ubuntu installation), but you can add it to all of the kernel lines, if you'd like. That line is the one that contains the parameters that are passed to the kernel at boot time. Also, responding to JT: I have had no trouble with my USB ports, although when I have _both_ external drives connected using the two ports on the left, I get problems talking to them periodically. I think it's a power problem: I received two cables with each external unit, but I don't use them since the laptop is capable of providing power on a single USB port. But there aren't enough ports on this laptop to power both external units at the same time and still have them hooked up to the USB ports for data, too! -- Frank J.
