1 Hi,
2
3 is it an Asus board?
4
5 Because Asus went cheap on bios chips not too long ago. Now we have the fun of
6 Asus bioses getting confused because of stuff like turning off and similar
7 cruel treatment. The fuck up with your transformer might habe caused a short
8 spike, damaging the settings.

10 In my experience, Asus boards with a confused cheap bios can be brought back
11 with: resetting bios, turning off electricity several times and lots and lots
12 of reboots.
13
14 There is a reason, I throw that garbage out and got gigabyte.
15
16 About the 'suddenly ide' drive mess: did you turn back the settings?
17
18 And the symlinks: just WTF? Just install debianutils, do 'make modules_install
19 install' and /boot will always have the correct files, with nice symlinks
20 named vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old etc...
