Nope, # lilo -V LILO version 23.2 (released 09-Apr-2011) (Debian GNU/Linux) It's a 32-bit Debian/unstable (sid) userland, on a 64-bit kernel, running on a 2nd gen i7-2xxx and a Gigabyte Z68A-D3H-B3 motherboard. The drives are using the motherboard AHCI controller. Thanks for the idea, though. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
