So I now have : <tt>kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-25-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro pci=noacpi pci=routeirq quiet splash</tt> in my /boot/grub/meu.lst I still can't mount the disk... but I get the following in /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog : <tt>Jul 5 21:51:41 localhost kernel: [17179647.732000] usb 4-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 Jul 5 21:51:42 localhost kernel: [17179648.732000] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1c.3: Unlink after no-IRQ? Controller is probably using the wrong IRQ.

Any more suggestions I could try? Gilles.
