SuSE9.0

My system has a CDR and DVD along with 2 40G ide drives. It also has dos, XP, 2K, SuSE8.0, and SuSE 9.0. When I try to add a Maxtor Promise ultra100 to add an additional drive, the original onboard controllers get bumped to hde - hdh. As a result kernel panic on the boot. I happen to have System Commander as the boot manager and all os's boot except the two Linux installs. Is there anyway to overcome this?

Yep, you need to use "ide=reverse" at boot time. nik
