The problem is that /dev/hda is the cdrom the UDMA drive is /dev/hde
Your right this is your problem. Why is it configured like this? You have 4 IDE ports. I saw the picture of your mb. Your first hard drive should be plugged into the port that would make it hda.
Well, the problem is that this is not my machine. Mine has an udma hd running linux, and Lilo is on the hda mbr, but I have a different mb that makes this possible. My friend is mainly a windows user (at the moment), and he has this Abit mb that provides two special connectors for UDMA 66. They require a special cable, with a different plug that won't fit into the ide0 connector. I guess it would be unfair to make him lose the (supposed) benefit of UDMA 66 in windows..... I just wanted to help him because he has been trying to install and use linux for about a year now, and has not been too successful, and I was looking for a nicer solution that putting lilo on fd0. fx -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux Kernel 2.2.16 (why worry?) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
