Greetings!

Cool!

As for not working after disk builder - this is normal behavior. Disk builder's sole function is to set up the disk, filesystems and stress test. It never actually loads any version of the player software.

I am surprised it gave a "Disk Not Found". I would think that if disk builder was still the active kernel, it would attempt to rebuild the disk at each boot, and give the indications on screen. Or, if the disk was already built, prompt the user in the shell for yes/no to continue (did you have Hyperterm connected at boot time?). Is the "Disk Not Found" error tied strictly to a timeout??? It might be a false error that would be seen in this situation.

Lastly, I have seen multiple probe instances before. I suspect, but do not know for certain, that the kernel is waiting for a response back from the drive, and sending multiple queries. This result is shown by the single ide0 reply. I would not be worried by that, as long as the response was sane.
