Sorry, but that did not work. I just got a different error upon startup. The big
time waster is when it sits there trying to detect the non existent hard drives.
It takes longer at that step the it takes to completely come up... The only real
difference in the error was it was unable to find the file instead of saying it
was unable to find the hard drive. There has to be a setting somewhere where I
can disable the hard drive search for the two devices... I am completely at a
loss here. I triple checked my CMOS settings and re-installed RedHat 4 times now
to try to get rid of that. No luck... Any other suggestions? I am willing to
try anything.
Thanks for quickly responding.
