That took me back to my previous symptoms (the hang) until I relized I'd put the master at the controller spot on the cable. Swapped that, and now I was back at my second set of symptoms (error on ad2). Having seen some postings about incopatabilities between CDRom drives and harddrives on the same controller, I decided to move the hard drive to controller 1 to see what would happen. I can now boot 5.2 cleanly. So, things are solved for me. But I worry that a hardware combo that worked under 5.1 no longer works under 5.2. And I'm going to be trying to put a different DVD/HD combo on that second controller later this week; I hope I get lucky and they work together. Oh, and thanks for your help, Tim; I'd never have figured this out if you hadn't suggested checking the jumpers, because I was *sure* my hardware was working fine <wry grin>. --DavidReceived on Sat Apr 03 2004 - 10:44:38 UTC
