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?
