Did "cat /proc/ide/hda/media", gave me just "disk".
Booted with "linux load=ide-generic hda=16383,255,63 hda=remap63". The
disk manager was not detected.
The Large-Disk-HOWTO says: "However, NO remapping is done when a
geometry was specified on the command line - so a `hd=cyls,heads,secs'
command line option might well kill compatibility with a disk manager."
Booted with "linux load=ide-disk,ide-generic hda=remap63".
The disk manager was not detected.
Booted with "linux load=ide-generic hda=remap hda=remap63". Same as above.

Is the code for the Ontrack disk manager similar to that of EZ?
Relevant?
Sometimes, after detecting CD-ROM drive the following error message appears.
[begin]
hdb: ATAPI 6X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
hdb: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { Drive Ready Seek Complete Error }
hdb: cdrom_decode_status: error 0x40 { LastFailedSense=0x04 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
[end]
Last three lines are in most cases displayed several times between the
other boot messages and in most cases the CD boots anyway but it is
really slow. Until now I do not know how to reproduce it. It could be
a hardware problem but this problem is specific to the 6.3 it does not
appear while booting the 6.2.5 CD. In WIN it is no problem to read the
whole CD and e.g. to copy it to HDD completely.
If the problem does not appear the line "Uniform CD..." is followed by
"INIT: version 2.86 booting"
One last question for today: The system clock of the computer runs not
always as it should but only when plugged to power because the bios
akku is broken. I know that programming is sometimes tricky so I
prefer asking a totally stupid question to causing a lot of
unnecessary trouble. Could there be a relation to our problem?
