Alan, I tried many different combinations: legacy, advanced ... they all ended the same kernel panic or failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40). I could give more information but that would require a lot of effort, when the kernel dumps the screen scrolls many times. I was able to get the system up once when I had a IDE drive and SATA enabled, I still got the xfermode error. If I knew it would work I would keep trying but I don't trust the MB, the previous owner had issues with it. - Jamie On 8/29/07, Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Your current board has an utterly generic intel ICH controller.
