Not sure what distro you're running, and I doubt it's that since you said it works with the other kernel, but it may have something to do it..

Hmm, that's lame - in VMWare 3, you just went in and removed the SCSI device and added a new IDE device.. in VMWare 4, doesn't look like it gives you the option! So, disregard that if you're a VMWare 4 user, I guess.. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
