*grumble* You may be right... not sure how the kernel's configured on the bootable CD, though -- particularly on the newer versions. As far as I know, many of the drivers (particularly for HDs) won't co-exist... and the wd* driver is the old "Western Digital" IDE interface, if memory serves.

...may or may not be useful to have the rest of the bootup sequence, etc, as well as some specifics on the hardware. Me, I've honestly yet to move to 3.3...
