The system freeze during the _installation_ boot over the CD. If i put the hd in udma 0 mode (in the bios), the installation goes as long as the repartitionning. But it also freeze during the format. I must add that when i put the hd on the more classic udma 33 port, all works well. But it is not a very satisfactory solution, isn't it ? And htp 366 is supposed to work flawlessly on linux, at least with mdk 7.2. Pascal
