Thanks for your replies guys.

blue68f100,
I just checked on the info you mentioned:
SW: 4.0.860
HW: 2.2.1
BIOS: 2.4.437

Although I do have a >2 BIOS and HW version, as far as LBA48 is concerned, the reply I get when I connect the WD 2500 (250GB) and run the "info log T" command on the debug page, is:

01/10/2006 0:37:22 24 D SYS | IDE: A 48 bit LBA capable Hard Drive was detected ...
01/10/2006 0:37:22 24 D SYS | IDE: 48 bit LBA is not supported on 4100 and 12000 platforms.
01/10/2006 0:37:22 24 D SYS | IDE: Setting the hard drive size to maximum addressable by 28 bits: 131071 MBytes.

I wonder...
...if I downgraded to 3.4.805, would I get the LBA48 thing to work, what do you think?

...any other suggestions?

kogvos,
thanks for the RAM tip, I am looking into it right away :-)
