The system actually hangs on "ide2" which is the primary ide channel of the HPT370, and is empty in my system, during the partition check, so dmesg already displays all availble drives and channels in order. Putting the drive to 'master' actually resolves the problem. The fact that the ide system is probing ide2 for partitions while there's no drives attached to it make me wonder if the ide system didn't got told that there was no drive attached to it by the hpt driver. I can only wonder about why the whole system hasn't got the problem when the drive is set to 'master'. summarized: ide0: hda: HD hdb:CDRW ide1: unused, disabled in onboard mobo ide2: unused ide3: hdg: HD(cable select, therefore master) hdh:empty Auke Kok CC: sofar@xs4all.nl (not subscribed - on dialup)
