Thanks Dale, I think it is based on older kernels. It mentions: ata_piix which is the ONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y I have configured in the kernel. For a minute I thought it's something simple I missed out on with the change of the kernel version, but it seems it is more involved than that. I just hope that the P4 machine works out right, because it is on daily use. -- Regards, Mick
