Yeah I grokked that the first time I actually tried to access the drive, Thanks :-) (I must be learning something)
Added to my lilo.conf: (as suggested by Joe Morris) append = "hdc=ide-cd hdd=ide-scsi"
This was only if you used lilo. Otherwise, if GRUB, IIRC it is menu.lst (I only have 8.0 and use lilo).
Still using lilo here

I think this is your problem. I know there was a VIA Southridge patch in one of the later kernels. Maybe you should try a newer kernel.
I was afraid of that, but glad to know that I may be getting closer to a solution.

IRQ 14 is your primary IDE controller, IRQ 15 is your secondary IDE controller. I think you have found the source of your problem. I don't believe your controller is supported in your kernel.
Thanks for taking the time to help, I'll look into the kernel patch as time allows. At least I can stop trying the same things over and over. -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
