Well, maybe you have to activate something in the BIOS to let it boot
on this controller ... or rather, to tell the BIOS that the _primary_
IDE interface (ide0) should be the HPT366, not the Intel BX.
Just guessing, I really don't know ...
Did you try to pass command line parameters like "ide0=none ide1=none"
to try to tell the kernel that the Intel BX should _not_ be used ?
Also, in my previous post I didn't suggest that you use the _install_
kernel when the disk is plugged to the ATA/66, I suggested that you
use your _own_ homemade kernel (install and compile of your kernel
made while the disk is plugged to the Intel BX).
