That one takes almost 3 minutes. Why kernel probes IDE channels twice? Why it ignores noprobe in the second probe? How is Asus A7V133 Bios broken (how can I check how its broken) and how can I fix it? Please dont ignore this message like kernel noprobe :) PS:distro Ubuntu 6.06 and 2 random liveCD ones so its not distro specific. -- Who logs in to gdm? Not I, said the duck.
