That is obvious. It is my experience that a machine with no drives
on ide0 or ide1 (this is BEFORE the stanza IDE remapping) and using
the xosl boot manager will eventually collapse and become unuseable.

Abit is nice and supplies the cable when you buy the motherboard. As
for the hardware I selected it to run fast out of the box. As soon as
cooker settles down a bit I will give it a try. The machine this
hardware is on is my so called production machine (school machine).

Sorry about this, but the 7.2 kernel just does not see IDE2 or IDE3

OK let's begin by comparing apples to apples.
Most IDE setups, including Promise, are correctly detected and set up by the
installer and handled properly by the kernel. This includes ATA/100 or UDMA5.
Some folks have more IDE channels than are autoprobed. Drive i on 7.2 will
never be autodet
I meant to also mention this drive is using udma5

The board supports DMA/33 and Ultra DMA/66 on IDE1/2 and ata-100(or
UDMA100 if you like) on IDE3/4 using a HPT370 controller. The IBM
Deskstar Ultra ATA100 7200rpm drive is on ide3.
I haven't had time to play around hdparm yet so this is what the default
settings are reporting.

And waste the mobo two channel IDE controller, that is perfectly fine to use

But action has been taken, in the ongoing development sense, but not
the field support sense. Maybe by the kernel team rather than
Mandrake. For example I installed the la

I have read all about bug #525 (thanks!) and fail to see what has
been a total waste of your time. Please?
