Most of the problems reported there seem to be that people could not boot the kernel and people were taling about the 2.6.19 version whereas I can boot and I'm running the 2.6.21 kernel. There is one mention of poor i/o performance and the suggestion is to run with acpi=off and hda=noprobe. I have already tried acpi=off and that didn't make any noticable difference. I will try the noprobe option tomorrow morning. I only boot into Linux once a day as I do have some work I need to do! Steve
