One is messing up the other by some unknown conflict over the PCI Bus. You know the root device is working with the onboard video. This shifts attention to the plugin video card. The combination onboard video and and plugin video card has caused on and off trouble since the PC and its bios first came into existence. I was thinking that the bios was not completely turning off the onboard video so the kernel was loading the modules for the onboard video and they were conflicting with the modules needed for the Radeon and the side effect was that your root device was giving strange errors. But I could have wandered down the wrong path? Bill _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
