I can't seem to get Mandrake 7.1 running 2.2.16 to access my 45 gig IDE hard
drive. I am willing to toast it if that's the key to my problem...
currently I'm passing the following parameters to the kernel to try to get
it to recognize this IBM Deskstar 45 gig at hde.
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/sda1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=" ide2=0xdc00,0xe000 ide3=0xe400,0xe800"
read-only
Unfortunately when the kernel looks at the partition table of the hard drive
it gulps:
