Yes, maybe a bit too experimental for me, and i have never patched my kernel. -But it doesn't quite suit my problem either. The patch states : "....when the SB600 SATA is set as IDE mode by BIOS" Wich - in my case isn't the problem. - I think... My BIOS setting is AHCI, and i'd very much like to keep NCQ etc. However i have succeeded in installing FC6 with kernel 2.6.18 (and OT ubuntu 6.10 w. 2.6.17). The catch here is to use the IRQPOLL parameter at boot. BUT, this result in /var/log/messages growing _very_ fast, due to interrupt errors (again OT ubuntu 6.10 has the same problem). Regards /Kenn
