Much thanks to nDiScReEt, Bascule, Steve Browne, Brian Parish, Larry Sword, and 
Pross(who got in at the last moment).  

We got it fixed.  

The problem was that I followed the howto at 
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/index.html to upgrade my HD.  

Following directions, I used a _temporary_ lilo config for the initial booting of the 
new HD.  In the config, the line _append="hdb=ide-scsi"_ was omitted.  Thus, I had not 
re-corrected my lilo config.  nDiScReEt's post below opened my eyes.  The second I 
seen it, I knew what it was.  I'm now kicking myself (HARD).  


Thanks to all  
Dave
