Yeah I'll have to check but it may be <a href="http://2.6.13.2">2.6.13.2</a> if that is the
newest. Yes perhaps my Mobo is emulating as an ide because it
shows in the bios as ide channel 2. Has turned off the bios
feature before? I am not sure which it will be but what files
will I need to configure? grub.conf and fstab? Can I do
this before I disable so when I reboot it is happy? That way I
can just keep an older kernel if in fact it doesn't work and boot that
and restore the correct files until I can figure a work around.<br>
