Adding one IDE controller with 2 disks to one of our (all SCSI) servers, lilo warned
me about sda not being the first drive. Indeed, it wouldn't boot any more.
As both IDE's were meant for nightly backup, they were supposed to sleep alll day.
That's why "root on IDE" was not agreed.
So I removed the power plug from the IDE drives, erased the IDE controller definition
from the bios (ok it's a DIGITAL SERVER with no BIOS setup screen, just a intricate
program on CD).
Then reboot. (SCSI only) and /sbin/lilo. It worked.
Power off. Plug power on IDE. Boot.
It (still) works !
Any other solutions ?
