You're going to kick yourself if this is right but.... did you make the filesystem on the IDE disk? /dev/hde!=/dev/hde1 which would be a valid partition on the disk... although it can be if it's the ONLY partition.

Okay, it finally occurred to me that my lilo.conf was wrong. Note: image=/boot/bzImage-ultra label=ultra initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.17.img read-only root=/dev/sda1 append="pci=reverse ide2=0x78d0,0x78d3 ide3=0x78c4,0x78c7" This wasn't working because I was using the old initrd. By removing that line completely, the system came right up. Now I have yet another problem. dmesg contains the following regarding the drive: # dmesg | grep hd ide2: BM-DMA at 0x7880-0x7887, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio ide4: BM-DMA at 0x7888-0x788f, BIOS settings: hdi:pio, hdj:pio hde: probing with STATUS(0x50) instead of ALTSTATUS(0x01) hde: WDC WD450AA-00BAA0, ATA DISK drive hdf: probing with STATUS(0x00) instead of ALTSTATUS(0x01) SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 8388315 [4095 MB] [4.1 GB] SCSI device sdb: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 8515173 [4157 MB] [4.2 GB] hde: bad special flag: 0x03 So, /dev/hde is my new device. I don't know what the last line is referencing. But, # /sbin/fdisk /dev/hde Unable to open /dev/hde So, there's definitely something amiss. Following is all of what I believe to be the pertinent information. If I need to provide anything more, just say the word. My /proc/ide contains the following: # ls -al total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 10 16:46 . dr-xr-xr-x 52 root root 0 Oct 10 11:30 .. -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:06 drivers lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:06 hde -> ide2/hde dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 10 17:06 ide2 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:06 pdc202xx drivers is an empty file. pdc202xx contains: # cat pdc202xx PDC20262 Chipset. ------------------------------- General Status --------------------------------- Burst Mode : enabled Host Mode : Normal Bus Clocking : 33 PCI Internal IO pad select : 4 mA Status Polling Period : 14 Interrupt Check Status Polling Delay : 1 --------------- Primary Channel ---------------- Secondary Channel ------------- enabled enabled 66 Clocking disabled disabled Mode MASTER Mode MASTER FIFO Empty FIFO Empty --------------- drive0 --------- drive1 -------- drive0 ---------- drive1 ------ DMA enabled: no no no no DMA Mode: UDMA 4 NOTSET NOTSET NOTSET PIO Mode: PIO 4 NOTSET NOTSET NOTSET /proc/ide/ide2/hde contains the following information: # ls -al total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 10 17:08 . dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 10 17:08 .. -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:09 driver -r-------- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:09 identify -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:09 media -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:09 model -rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:09 settings The file media contains: disk The file model contains: WDC WD450AA-00BAA0, which is the correct identity of the drive connected to the board. Anybody have any ideas as to what I've screwed up now?
