Next idea was to download the boot CD for version 9b4, just in case anything's changed. Same hang in same place :-( Only options I can think of at the moment are: a) go pester the kernel team b) look at the pci-ide code myself c) buy an IDE controller card d) throw Mandrake away & go back to Win2000 I doubt there's much point me trying (a) and I'm not sure I'd know what I was looking for in (b). I think I might try this cheap ATA133 card: http://www.ivmm.com/eio/products_ap1680.html it says all the right things: - supports up to 137Gb - Linux support - coexists with onboard controller It's worth �20 to not have to resort to option (d), but if it fails... *sigh* Can someone point me at a list of boot-time options that I can pass to the ide module? I'm wondering if there might be anything useful in there. Thanks Jon
