Thanks, I'll give it a try... Will I experience any problems trying to get XFS into this kernel as well? I start with 2.4.18 to patch to the pre* series, correct? (I'm not used to running bleeding edge...) I'm guessing the order would be: 2.4.18 (stock) +XFS +.19pre10 +pre10ac2

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX=y (at least in the problematic kernel, this enables the subdriver itself) CONFIG_PDC202XX_BURST=y,n (I've tried both, neither helps) CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE=n (I read that this is for FastTrak controllers, I only have an Ultra100)
Thanks, I'll try this when I get home!
