Hi, unfortunately I can't cut & paste the output of lspci -n and save it
anywhere after rebooting from the LiveCD. I tried mounting one of the
windows partitions but as they are NTFS I was only allowed to mount them
read only... (I'm sure on my other machine I count mount NTFS rw?)
You can't reliably mount NTFS rw at all. The in-kernel implementation
doesn't allow creating new files or changing the size of existing ones.
FUSE + the latest ntfsprogs do work, but require a 2.6.14 kernel which
is not in LFS yet and thus cannot be used on the LiveCD.
But all the needed information fits on a sheet of paper. Let me explain.
My output of lspci:
0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C693A/694x [Apollo
PRO133x] (rev c4)
0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C598/694x [Apollo

0000:00:07.4 SMBus: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 [Apollo Super ACPI]

[FM801 game port] (rev b2)
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c368 [Trio 3D/2X] (rev 02)
The IDE controller is in the line beginning with 0000:00:07.1
Then, lspci -n gives:
0000:00:00.0 0600: 1106:0691 (rev c4)
0000:00:01.0 0604: 1106:8598
0000:00:07.0 0601: 1106:0686 (rev 40)
0000:00:07.1 0101: 1106:0571 (rev 06)
0000:00:07.2 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 1a)
0000:00:07.4 0c05: 1106:3057 (rev 40)
0000:00:0b.0 0780: 11c1:044c (rev 02)
0000:00:0d.0 0401: 1319:0801 (rev b2)
0000:00:0d.1 0980: 1319:0802 (rev b2)
0000:01:00.0 0300: 5333:8a13 (rev 02)
So if you were me, you wolud need only the following one-line information:
0000:00:07.1 0101: 1106:0571 (rev 06)
Of course, with two IDE controllers, that would be two lines.
Anyway, the CDROMS are found by the kernal as just:
/dev/hda LiveCD self-discovery works
/dev/hdb LiveCD self-discovery fails.
Thanks. Looks indeed like a bug in initramfs.
Note there is no number after the hd{a,b} and yet my BIOS refers to them
as being Master and Slave respectively...
That's absolutely normal.
hda = primary master
hdb = primary slave
hda1 = first partition on /dev/hda
