This bug was caused by the missing config_pdc_force in the install kernel...
With my modified boot disks the install worked, but the Promise controller
won the race over the VIA controller regarding wich ide chipset would be the
booting one...
This of course messed up the system, since the BIOS was set to use VIA as
primary IDE chipset...
Then the MDK installer tried to resolve the mess, by adding theese to the
lilo.conf:
disk=/dev/hde bios=0x81
other=/dev/hde1
label="windows2"
table=/dev/hde
map-drive=0x80
to=0x81
map-drive=0x81
to=0x80
but obviously it was not the way to go...
This bug was fixed by adding the ide=reverse to every append line,
and removing the lines above made by the installer,and making
changes to lilo.conf and fstab to match the ide=reverse setting...

description:
Trying to install on a computer running Mandrake 9.0. Motherboard is an Asus
A7V333 with Promise Raid. I am not using the Raid but have hard drives 2 and 3
plugged in there. When I try to install it only shows the drive on the standard
motherboard ide ports.
I have Mandrake 9.0 running on a drive on the Promise ide and it has no problem
recognizing all the drives. I did not know of any special kernel commands to
give since I have never had to do that in the past when installing Redhat or
Mandrake.
