I tried the installation several times and it always caused the box to hang when I had it set to enhanced. I have a 40GB on the primary IDE, CDRW, DVD on the secondary IDE and the 120GB on the first SATA. When in enhanced mode I choose the SATA drive to be the first drive rather than the PATA one. I wish I could find out what exactly is causing it to hang but it sometimes hangs right after a message saying that it's disabling UDMA on my CDRW (/dev/hdc) or sometimes it makes it as far as "Checking for new hardware". Once I get back home later this week I will mess around with it so more, perhaps start removing other devices to see if that helps. Thanks for the feedback, at least it gives me some hope :) Regards, Eric -- sorry for the bad formatting, using a company laptop and OE on the road --
