The only thing attached to it is CD-ROM, which is recognized as well, although, if there is no CD in it _at boot time_, attempts to mount it later will give "device not configured". The problem is, that when starts reading from the CD, machine hangs (almosT), producing a horrible amount of warnings like "ahc...WARNING no command ...". I can switch virtual terminals, but can not do a soft reboot. I tried disabling/enabling various PCI, EISA, Cache parameters with no result. Is the controller supported (it is built on mother-board)? Can it be, that I just have a bad CD-ROM? Any other ideas? Thanks! -mi -- "Windows for dummies"
