I tried with kernel 2.4.12 and 2.4.12-ac3, enabling both Promise FastTrak options (one for the controller, one for IDE RAID) and software RAID. I've done searches on google and their newsgroup archives and haven't found anything describing a solution to this problem. I will do my best to provide any additional information that could help if this is a new problem, but it can be a bit slow since I can only transfer it by swapping the video cable and using BioLink (TM of RealLife, INC). -- Richard Garand krogoth2@softhome.net, r.garand@sk.sympatico.ca (L)ICQ: 12190132 Then: I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this margin is too small to contain.
