But - guess what: The error still persists! I am quite clueless - maybe it has something to do with the IDE subsystem? We put a 4GB 2.5'' HD in this old Laptop, but the harddisk is correctly recognized by Linux (also Partition check), grub is also working and it Linux also mounts the partition. Is there any way to get more information out of the kernel? Best Regards, Hermann -- x1@aon.at GPG key ID: 299893C7 (on keyservers) FP: 0124 2584 8809 EF2A DBF9 4902 64B4 D16B 2998 93C7
