Speaking of which, on my Asus A7V based machine - I have the Mandrake
Linux loaded under the /dev/hde (promise controller) and I also have
extra ReiserFS partitions on a spare (/dev/hda) drive.  After a fresh
install of Mandrake, the system will not boot from the /dev/hde
partition and I have to boot in rescue mode, edit lilo.conf and add the
following:

disk=/dev/hde
bios=0x80
disk/dev/hda
bios=0x81

then:
lilo -v

reboot

and all is OK now.  

Question is, why can't the DrakX install catch this and automatically do
this for me?

Cheers,
R.Fox
