I do not know what you mean by "hdex", have you got more disks than related?? Do you know that Linux supports till 5 primary partitions?? More if extended.

Best that you change disk+CD IDE bus connections, because i see you have not get any SCSI disks [aka sdax]. Also it is not needed for CD boot bios setup. Connect [IBM UDMA 13gb] disk as master on IDE1, and CD-Rom as master also on IDE2. This way the atapi cdrom will appear as hdb, while the hard disk will do as hda. I would not recommend you to put CD-Rom as slave on IDE1, best do not do it. If it is the windoze part as NTFS it would not harm. Also as of regular windoze, hd will always appear as c: , and cd will do as d:.

This is a system with an Abit be6 II card, with two onboard IDE connectors and two DISTINCT UDMA connectors. The installed drive is recognized as HDEx (meaning partitions HDE1,2,3 etc).

Yea, can see problem at: http://bxboards.com/mainboard/slot1/BE62.0-large.jpg or "Abit BE6-2 Review @ bxboards.com" at: http://bxboards.com/mainboard/slot1/be6-ii.shtml also a link to Abit Manufacturer at: http://www.abit.com.tw or the product Abit's "Product - be6r2" at: http://www.abit.com.tw/english/product/be6r2.htm But anyway, i think you must act on bios cfg (with the CPU set-up software, Softmenu III). And try to convert your UDMA slot's as primary, if possible, leaving the other IDE's as secondary. Let me read some info, after a while i'll try to give you some answers, though!! =:`) But try yourself also, please and tell us afterwards. Do not forget that your objective must be to let see Linux your "IBM UDMA" as hda.
So HDA is the cdrom on taht system.

If you try and configure LILO via Yast you are right, it WILL NOT install on hde. However, if you edit the /etc/lilo.conf file directly, you can get round this.

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. Your MB manual or the silk screen on the MB should tell you which ide port is port 1 (1 relative). Thats where your first hard drive should be connected. Set your bios to auto detect. Boot a win98 floppy and do an fdisk /mbr, then boot from CD-2 and tell yast to boot from an exsisting operating system that lives on /dev/hda?. Then when your up (single-user) fix your lilo.conf and fstab and rerun lilo. Again I see no reason why your first drive is not hda.........
# image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda4 label = linux #
so my version is image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hde5 label = linux #
other = /dev/hdb1 label = . map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x81 map-drive = 0x81 to = 0x80 table = /dev/hdb # other = /dev/hdd1 label = win98 map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x83 map-drive = 0x83 to = 0x80 table = /dev/hdd

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

If it does work (but not advised by Abit on the manual) then you can go and change Bios params.
