however, i'm not sure re the correspondence of names: there are IDE1 IDE2 IDE3 IDE4, then HDD0 HDD1 HDD2 HDD3 & in Linux 'hda hdb hdc hdd hde hdf hdg hdh'.; Linux seems to see HDD0 (the hard drive) as 'hde'. can anyone offer clarific'n ?
On my board,
IDE0 (VIA Primary) hde, hdf ==> My burner attached here IDE1 (VIA Secondary) hdg, hdh ==> My cdrom IDE2 (Highpoint Primary) hda, hdb ==> My boot drive IDE3 (Highpoint Secndary) hdc, hdd ==> My spare drive
You can switch the order of IDE0,1 and IDE2,3 by passing ide=reverse to the kernel at boot, so that your VIA channels will hold hda, hdb, hdc and hdd and the Highpoint channels will hold hde, hdf, hdg, and hdh.
That's interesting. On the IWill, with ALi M1647 chipset, IDE0 and 1, the normal ide channels, are hda-hdd. The Highpoint channels come out as hde-hdg. My concern about the cdrom on hdg was based on this configuration and I didn't know it would be different for different chipsets.
