How exatly does one figure that out? If it has the Jmicron thing? > When 10.3 openSuSE came out I tried again. Bingo - success. Will be trying that soon. > In my case it gets more interesting...

Hmm. I can't quite figure out the whole master-slave port thing here. I can only see what happens in the BIOS reporting as I move the connections around on the motherboard. Putting both HD's into what appeared to be "slave" ports got the BIOS to say "hey, I can't find a master HD", not surprisingly. Also not surprisingly, SuSE didn't find them either. Oh, FWIW, acpi=off made the DVD detection fail.. Thanks. Michael -- Michael Fischer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
