[good]Re: Which DVD player?

[ted leslie]

this often happens when you are not using a specific chipset driver in the kernel for your 
IDE instead your using a default.
in your dmesg or boot up loads, does it say it identified the chip set and its ok?
or does't it say,  "unknown" this that and the other,

I have had to do a kernel driver selection for ide/chipset/bridge drivers for almost every mother board
i have ever bought,
so i wouldn;t be surprized if this was your issue.
there is probably a "via" chip set selection in the kernel you need to enable and recompile.
Also, if your kernel is too old? I have a mother board that unless I have 2.6.9+ i
have a similar issue to what you have, and 2.6.9 is pretty recent!
