Hi Rene, I had such a situation some time ago, too. I had 2 scsi disks and a scsi-only kernel, with ide just as a loadable module. I added an ide disk to the running vg and all was ok until I rebooted. When booting up, my system lacked the ide-module so the hole vg was not recognized by the kernel. Then I had two possibilities: compiling a new kernel with the ide-disk compiled into, or building a new initrd with the ide-module. Now the system is up perfectly well.
