Mail from ILUG-BOM list (Non-Digest Mode) _______________________________________________ As many of you know, I dual-boot with loadlin. Case 1: Power up, start windows. No problems. All CD drives detected. Case 2: Power up, start Linux. All drives detected. Case 3: Case 2, then reboot without powering off into Windows. DOS drivers don't detect the CD drives, and the IDE drive access LED remains on. Starting Windows 98 shows only one CD drive -- the secondary master. /dev/hdd is not visible. Case 3a: Case 3, with more reboots without a power off. Same. Case 4: Back to Linux after case 3. Everything works perfectly. Case 5: Case 3 after case 4. The error from the DOS driver is "Drive identify function failed" I think. Obviously, Linux is doing something. But what? -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> US-bound grad students!
