Had this problem once. There are two options: 1: You select an option in the kernelconfiguration, which says that you system should use offboard IDE-devices asif they were onboard. 2: You give the following option at the lilo-prompt: (This is an example) ide2=0xc400,0xc802 ide3=0xcc00,0xd002 You can find these values according to e.g. [1]. The line above can also be put into /etc/lilo.conf at append="". [1] http://www.trustix.org/pipermail/tsl-discuss/2002-August/004018.html Hope this helps...
