quick update. more comprehensive update of everything i tried when i have a free minute to compile a complete list. i couldn't get 9atom to work sufficiently under any of the vm platforms i tried (vbox, vmware workstation). fyi, ahci is not an option on vmware workstation. sata isn't even an option unless you have version 10.x i had an old dell latitude d630 to try an install. 9atom installed perfectly, and all the devices i need to run a cpu/fs/auth server all worked out of the box, so that is what i am currently using. nice work on the hardware support. when i have a decent dev and test environment setup, i'll see if i can figure out what's going on with vmware. thanks for all the help and guidance. i'll keep you posted. -- Christopher Nielsen "They who can give up essential liberty for temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants." --Thomas Jefferson
