How about 2.4.22? Could it be that .21 doesn't yet fully support the A7N8X's chipsets? I have these set to "y" in my A7V133 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODES=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jefferson, LA USA YODA: Code! Yes. A programmer's strength flows from code maintainability. But beware of Perl. Terse syntax... more than one way to do it...default variables. The dark side of code maintainability are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you when code you write. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
