It is an Abit KT-7 and the Drive is a slave (for historical reasons) behind a CDROM drive on the 1st IDE controller
Might I ask which reasons this were? For all means, removable drives should always follow fixed drives.
I get the famous LI response from the bootloader. Now after looking this up in the docs and being told that it relates to disk geometry I am stumped.
It might be as simple as lilo using the wrong BIOS identifier. If that's the reason, but this in the global section: disk=/dev/hdb bios=0x80 This tells lilo that your slave will be the first disk discovered by the BIOS (which enumerates the drives in the order it detects them).
