I'm using the > last ISO I had lying around which is from 24 Sept 2008. that motherboard uses the realtek gbe chipset. the "8169" driver doesn't appear to get along with the recent changes to the Block code. my machine rebooted too fast to get much useful information (ya, ya, i need to get another serial card. tell me about it. :-)) i backed those changes out and things work fine. if the kernel /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/9pccd.gz works for you, i'd think this is very likely your problem. as to recognizing your drives in "native" mode. supposing it is supported, the driver at /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/src/9/pc/^(ahci.h sdiahci.c) will do the trick, if your chipset supports ahci. you will also need to modify 9load to recognize your vid/did. i'll do that when i get a chance. - erik
