Sorry about this problem, It turns out the machine  I was logging in to was actually linux 
running in a VMware system on WinXP.

I discovered this when lspci showed a VMWare IDE Bus.

I've since got hold of the machine, Rsync'd the linux off VMware and onto a native 
partition and it works fine..

At least now you know it won't work with VMWare 4.0

sorry again

keep up the good work

Rob
