I haven't opened up the player, but I really doubt there are 7 drives inside. What is this line supposed to mean? Looking at the kernel source, it's printing the same value as "hwrev"... Borislav

Roger carpal tunnel Registered: 18/01/2000 Posts: 5683 Loc: London, UK	Nope. It's a bug. The kernel source is printing the hwrev value into the buffer, rather than anything vaguely sensible. It's in arch/arm/special/empeg_proc.c, in case you're interested. Roger - not necessarily speaking for empeg Edited by Roger on 15/11/00 11:30 AM. _________________________ -- roger
