I am having my secondary hardisk (Seagate ST380020ACE 80 GB) unreadable by fedora 8. It reads it as 0 MB drive. Here's the output from dmesg.

'Fdisk -l' shows the information about the primary hardisk only ( WDC WD1600BB) . So its of no use. I tried fdisk on /dev/sdb, but still no info.
Today, I tried via knoppix and it mounted both the drives and all the partitions in them automatically. Here's the output of dmesg from knoppix 5.1.1.

As u can see fedora 8 reads the IDE drives as sd*, while knoppix reads its correctly according to the convention as hd*. What can be the problem? I want fedora 8 to be reading my secondary hardisk.
Thanx!
