Re: [SLE] Additional ide controller

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?

TIA

To boot from the "old" drives, a boot parameter "ide=reverse" has to be added. This should correct the problem.
