the problem with this is that there doesn't seem to be any way to indicate to the bios that the box has scsi. although if i load liunx on the scsi without the ide drive, it works as it's supposed to. the bios allows me to manipulate ide master/slave, primary/secondary controllers. i'm running an intel isp1100 motherboard. regards -bruce -----Original Message----- From: psyche-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:psyche-list-admin@redhat.com]On Behalf Of jdow Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2002 5:49 PM To: psyche-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: Adding an 80G Seagate IDE drive....
