http://www.tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64 has a sarge install cd with a 2.6.12 kernel. It has worked for other people with that chipset. You may have to load the uli sata driver from console2 manually to make it detect the disk. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
