Well, the support to Ultra 66 controller is available in kernel 2.2.10 or
higher. So make sure the kernel image in your bootdisk is at least
2.2.10. If again it can't dectect the ultra66 controller, then type this
at LILO: "linux ide2=0x1428, ide3=0x1428" to force the kernel to probe the
device. You may need to change 0x1428 to another address for your
controller.
you should be able to see the hd now.
