If so, you may want to try this kernel: http://www.wtamu.edu/~mlauterbach/kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3_SATA.root.i686.rpm All that is changed in this kernel is a line or two commented out. I have yet to get around to making and verifying that this will fix the x86_64 version of FC3 yet. x86_64 and i386 versions of FC3 both behaved exactly the same for me. Matthew E. Lauterbach
