Pedro, I just saw that there is a BIOS update (2.04) with a remark: "Update Silicon Image Oprom to v5.048 to resolve some DOS & Linux compatibility issues"... But could not find what that means... I've just updated to this version, but did not see any differences... I've installed in December on my Tyan K8W with the net install disk without problems on a SATA system with a Maxtor 6B200M0... the vmlinuz-2.6.10-9-amd64-k8-smp (-4) kernel reboots after detecting the SATA disks, but 2.6.8 runs fine. (the first revision of this 2.6.10 kernel worked too...) Anyway, I've been running the pure64 for two months in a production environment and I'm very happy with it. So, don't give up :) Egon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
