Having never used the two HPT370 ide ports on my Soyo 6BA+100 motherboard, I
wanted to put my new IBM 80GB ATA 100 drive into my existing Mandrake 8.2 box.
The kernel 'sees' the drive as hde and identifies it but hangs during boot
with a message like:
Partition Check : /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0
If I boot with the lilo command line: 'linux hde=noprobe' I can get the system
to boot but there isn't any '/dev/hde' or '/dev/ide/host2....'
I have 'append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi' in my lilo.conf file. The system
runs fine otherwise.
I know the drive is working since I temporarily made it a slave on the primary
ide (hdb) and was able to partition and format the drive that way.
HELP! Do I need to load a driver and make a new initrd? I don't want to wait
for my copy of 9.0 to arrive before I play with this drive at high speed.
TIA
