>Description:
When trying to boot after install with 6.0 or 7.0 the kernel panics with a divide by zero on a ATI IXP400 UMDA Controller (new ATI chipset for AMD)

when booting the same drive off a differnt intel 865 motherboard, all is fine.
when booting the same drive off a Promise TX 100 on the bad MB, all is fine .

I think the fast processor AMD 3800+ X2 may be effecting a timing calculation for this specific controller code ?
