I have not yet figured out why but 2.0.32 handles DMA/33 disks while other newer kernels give all sorts of errors. On every system that I have purchased these new drives for, I have had to revert to 2.0.32 in order for it to work. Just thought I would throw this information out to the community for further research. George Bonser The Linux "We're never going out of business" sale at an FTP site near you!
