Well it does appear that the SIS driver is loading first as far as I can see. Too bad that driver doesn't seem to tell you what mode it runs the disks at. > my harddrives are both newer hitachi 80/250GB.

Does lsmod show sis driver? If so what is the usage count for it? Is there anything in /proc/ide for the sis or in hd*/settings that shows a value for dma? I don't personally deal with SiS stuff when I can avoid it. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
