I've had good luck with the ide=nodma option when installing RHL 8 on an certain server, too. Of course this does disable DMA compeletely, which you may or not want to do. You could try re-enabling it after the install. (My recollection is that kernel parameters passed at the install will automatically be added to /etc/modules.conf to be used on future boots, but I'm not positive about that.) --Jeremy -- /=====================================================================\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \=====================================================================/
