It would appear that that is indeed my problem (my IDE SATA drive is not being recognized). Is there a easy way to track when this guy is going to be fixed? Can I help in any way?

THANKS...

I did an Upgrade to 8.04 LTS from 7.10 using the Update Manager, however, I had a problem booting the 2.6.24-18-386 kernel, as well, now that I think about it. Since I do not boot my desktop systems unless I need too because of an update or upgrade it slipped my mind. The 2.6.24-14-386 works, so that is what I have been using.

I also have updated another system.. my own desktop system (a home built scsi based system) with no problems. So with the exception of the kernel for the 530 I am up to date! Except for my firewall system but that is another story and a project for later.

Cheers,
Jay
