GSA-H55L doesn't appear in dmesg for the bigmem kernel, nor do any references to DVD drives. Both appear when booting 2.6.4-1-686. Comparing outputs of lspci for the two kernels, there is a difference for the following device: 03:00.0 IDE interface [0101]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 8 Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:82a2] In the standard issue kernel, lspci reports: Kernel driver in use: pata_marvell Kernel modules: pata_marvell But the bigmem kernel: Kernel driver in use: ahci Kernel modules: ahci, pata_marvell Might this be the issue? I tried adding ahci to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and rebooting the bigmem kernel, but the dvd devices are still not detected. -- Joe Hickey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
