The steps I followed to arrive at those numbers was the Ultra-DMA HOWTO: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Ultra-DMA-5.html#ss5.1 Once I had recompiled a new 2.4.20 with all the goodies, the ide2= parameter became unneeded. At least, I can boot without it. Still having GRUB problems, but no additional drive errors lately. (Knock on wooden backup tapes.) I will try and do the other steps this week. Thanks, Phil -- If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. - Samuel Adams
