1. Can't get to IDE2 or IDE3
System:
OS: Mandrake-Linux 7.02 AIR smp
Abit BP6 with BIOS QQ
Matrox G400 AGP
SoundBlaster Lice in PCI-2
PCI -3 is open , I left this open because it shares IRQ with the HPT366
controller. So there could not be any conflicts.
PCI-4 NIC
PCI -5 NIC
----------------------------
I decided to install a new UDMA66 drive on the HPT366 controller at
ide2.
Okay what am I missing or doing wrong here.

--------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So the big question is, why cant't the kernel get the IRQ -11 and use
the
drive.
*** The HPT366 controllers are liste as IRQ 18 in my /proc/interrupts
after
booting into Linux.
