Lo, on Sunday, August 15, Richard Cobbe did write: > The computer did come with a PCI IDE controller card (the "unknown mass > storage controller" line above) that has another two controllers on it. > I haven't yet tried switching controllers to see if that helps at all; I > may attempt that later this afternoon.
Well, that didn't work. Moving it to the other controller should make the hard drive visible as /dev/hde, but the kernel couldn't find the root device, even when I specified `root=/dev/hde2' on the Lilo command line. The odd thing is, I've switched hard drives to this controller before, back when I was having strange trouble with the previous drive and trying to diagnose it. I don't remember exactly what incantation I had to mumble in order to get the kernel to find the partition, though, so I can't repeat the process. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
