How do you come to that conclusion? I have LVM and I can use the DANI drivers 
just fine.
Michael uses Warp 3 Connect, so no LVM. Furthermore, I get the impression that 
his pc is a little bit older: he's using a 4,2 GB hard disk. A regular IBM 
driver may be a better bet in this case than the DANI driver, as the latter 
doesn't support all older chipsets and the IBM driver does.

Kind regards,
