Blanking of HD's 9fat, as you recommended before, helped. Everything went smooth then. And yes, I physically removed all IDE devices. Even now, although I can boot with IDE HD connected, I can see no /dev/hd* devices. It may be a matter of BIOS, which behaves very strange, e.g., I must do 'Load Setup Defaults', after disconnecting the SATA disks, otherwise it is not able to find IDE disks at all. It is some version (not up to date) of AMI BIOS. Erik thank you for all you valuable work and help, wishing you a great day! Peter.
