That's interesting. I have a new i7 system and any kernel earlier than 2.6.30-r2 would not boot from hard disk on my system (but would boot same image from USB flash, strange). This new kernel finally fixed it for me where I can boot from the hard disk. But seems to have broken older systems... -- -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Keith Dart public key: ID: 19017044 =====================================================================
