I tried both kernels you sent me. linux1 (undone IDE modularization) did not help (sect0=0; remap_0_to_1=0; no partitions except Ontrack). But linux2 (undone IDE modularization, removed IDE PnP support) did it. With linux2 boot from iso was possible, too.
I sent the logs to your private address. Device mapping no matter whether with "load=pata-legacy" or "load ide-generic" went all right until "kpartx -a /dev/mapper/ontrack" [begin] device-mapper: table: device 254:5 too small for target device-mapper: table: 254:8: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument device-mapper: table: device 254:5 too small for target device-mapper: table: 254:8: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument [end] Device mapper works with first three primary partitions, but got problems with logical partitions. fdisk sees only the OnTrackDM6 partition. "kpart -l /dev/mapper/ontrack" gave: [begin] ontrack1 : 0 2088387 /dev/mapper/ontrack 63 ontrack2 : 0 128520 /dev/mapper/ontrack 2088450 ontrack3 : 0 20980890 /dev/mapper/ontrack 2216970 ontrack4 : 0 55038690 /dev/mapper/ontrack 23197860 ontrack5 : 0 273042 /dev/dm-3 63 ontrack6 : 0 20980827 /dev/dm-3 273168 ontrack7 : 0 31680117 /dev/dm-3 21254058 ontrack8 : 0 2104452 /dev/dm-3 52934238 [end] M.
