[OT] Re: boot up problem of IDE disk in 2.4.0!

[Goblin]

You know, it makes me really love free OSes when I see a simple
question asked on the list, and it's answered by the guy who
writes the code!!!

Cheers to Alan, Andre, Linus, Rik, R. Gooch, Mingo, HPA and all
the rest who I forgot. You guys ROCK!

 restful it is to watch the cursor blink.  Close your eyes.  The opinions
 stated above are yours.  You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise.
