thanks. thats great info and probably saved me lots of time. I have already planned to not boot off the large array - done that before and had troubles with the whole efi thingo. (I have some other machines that boot off usb drives because of this very problem!) kernel-team - +1 for new driver updates in the kernel/install CD. This is an important part of an LTS release surely, and I am sick of buying servers has not having the nics/sata/ide/southbridge chips supported :( I have had like 5 firewalls in the last month or so with this problem. Had to take alot more effort in specifying hardware with my supplier than normal because of it :( dave -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server
