Hi TM
You would normally have the DVD drive on one IDE cable, and the HD's on a
second cable. Otherwise the HD's will slow down to the bus speed of the DVD.
The cable pinouts are different for the connectors which are close together.
They need to plug into a drive.

It should be possible. Just get an IDE cable that is long enough. I
have a cable in my Sun Blade 100 which is long enough so I can
connect it properly. It really doesn't make sense to continue trying
around with the cable connected improper
ted to the motherboard. It's a
80 pin IDE cable, but it's printed "Sun Blade 100" on it, so it must work with
this machine.
Still Debian hangs with a black screen after boot. :(
I can switch consoles, but i cannot put syslog to anywhere.

So, it does matter, even with the 40 pin cables? Just because it is impossible
to put the longest part to the motherboard: the connector of the HDD and the
DVD are too far apart. And the DVD does not appear in "probe-ide", if the HDD
is not the primary master. (Any idea why?)
Kevin Stabel írta
Cool, just a bit more patience, TCH, we will get this machine running :)
Usually the part where the cable is the longest goes on the motherboard.
Then you need to set the jumpers correctly as well for slave/master.

I see, so it can go for a while, even if it does not connected properly. Good

I replaced the 80 pin cables to 40 pin ones. Does it matter for the 40 pin one,
how it's connected?

Frans is absolutely right. Unless you connect the cable properly, don't be

With IDE/ATA, it is vital that:
- You use the correct cable, 40 or 80 pins
- You place the devices in the right order on the cable. 80 pin cables will
usually have color coding. Usually blue goes on the motherboard.
- Jumper the options correctly on the devices. Master/slave on 40 pin

According to this: http://oscomp.hu/depot/probe-ide.jpg
The cdrom drive is not where it should be (it should be slave on the first
bus).
Thus the devalias for "cdrom" is wrong.
OP, move the cdrom to the correct bus, as described in the manual.

This may be the case! I replaced the 80 pin cable with a 40 pin cable, mapped
