Greetings; The only way I can get this box to boot is to disconnect the data cable on a drive with 121 badblocks as somehow ASUS and JMicron-pata all seem to think its /dev/sda when hooked up, and it is no longer bootable. I'm presently booted from a sata drive on that interface, which this ASUS board has about 8 of. So I've booted with the data cable off, and hooked it up once booted. Unforch there seems to be no discovery of its presence. No /dev/sdd stuff was created when I plugged the data cable into the drive. The install is the August 2008 F8 respin and is uptodate. How can I make the system aware that it is now there? It has about 40 Gb of data I'd like to recover if I can. Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
