Nothing to thank. Interesting, what BIOS vendor is it?
My 2 Amilo Notebooks (one with Athlon X2 and one with Pentium DC)
offer the setting "Emulate lagacy IDE" instead
(The Athlon X2's Amilo's BIOS details: BIOS Configuration: Phoenix
Technologies LTD V1.13            10/06/2008).

Also: I didn't yet try b107. But I had no way to install b106, because
of a severe problem with SATA (and maybe also USB2.0).
If I would leave SATA support enabled in in the BIOS, then it would
hard-lock/freeze the system no matter what (shortly after "Configuring
/dev" was displayed).
However, if I would set it to "Legacy IDE" in the BIOSSetup Utility,
then the hdd would not get detected.

If the problem persists with upcoming versions, then I invest some
time and report results to the list.
For now I simply decided to stick with b105, instead of installing
b106 (all this happened during the first install, after I unwrapped
this machine, circa 3 weeks ago).
