Just remembered a few problems I once had with ide-controllers. You didn't tell what your secondary ide looks like; these days it is usually on the motherboard and pretty standard, so that's what I assumed. But you may be working with a plug-in. If so, check the addressing. The secondary should be 0x170 with irq 15. I've had trouble with an older soundcard and an odd plug-in controller, both refusing to work at anything like that address/irq combination. In both cases I couldn't get Linux to recognise the hardware. If you have an odd address you could try passing it on the kernel command line, but I think I tried that and failed. Hope some of this helps... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Steven Bolt # popular science monthly KIJK # ------------------------------------------------------------------------
