yOU DONT GET A BOOT time MESSAGE ABOUTING CHECKING FOR new
hardware?
tHERE IS A PIECE OF ANACONDA THAT IS THE ADMINISTRATOR WHICH
YOU
may have removed, but the hardware auto-detect piece
may be still installed. If it is, you get the "checking for
new hardware"
message on the console which is anaconda running on your
system.
Need to know because if it is totally purged, we know that
you did not cuase any config file changes through anaconda.
what do you remember about drive detection during the first
install of
drive B that might be a clue here?
