Re: double boot (NT) probs

Well, this very well could be a symptom caused by Linux's good Pnp support?

Is this NT4?
Compare your IRQ/DMA assignments from Linux to NT for you IDE controller - 
as NT is not really PNP, it might try to change the IRQ assignment, or DMA 
settings to what it thinks are the *proper* ones (ie what it was at install 
time - NT4 is a poor Pnp player - Win2K is much better), and then Linux 
changes them back to what they should be given the present situation. 
Usually if this is the case, NT will complain with popup dialogs however, 
but I've only had it happen with a sound card, not a drive system, so I 
could be shovelling it.

Speaking of which if you ever enable a PnP operating system in your bios 
this could cause lots of headaches for Linux.
