Given the horrible state IDE is in 2.5 currently I would be very hesitant to use such a patch if it were to exist. Recently I read I think alan cox commenting again on how bad the IDE is in 2.5.x still, unusable for a lotta folk still. Save some pain and pickup a PCI ide controller, I reccomend Promise ATA/100, or ATA/66, never tried their ATA/133 myself but it probably works fine too. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
