Without access to the disk, I can't tell. I don't remember any question about loading BIOS firmware, and can't see why the kernel would even care about that. > > The whole mess makes no sense. Boot with SystemRescueCd and you can't get to a prompt? If you do, do you have internet access once you're there? If neither, take a photo and post a link to a *clear* snapshot. Yes, your southbridge chipset could just happened to have failed at the same time; or it failed on the reboot; or USB and SATA are both on the southbridge that failed so you lost both, basically. -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ support@happypenguincomputers.com 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ Don't top-post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post#Top-posting
