Have you tried booting with it disconnected? Did you have another drive as the secondary ide master that is now missing? Don't know what that does to an ide sub-system, but I think you have to have a master if you have anything at all, e.g. changing the jumpering on the cdrom to make it a master might fix things. hda = primary ide, master hdb = primary ide, slave hdc = secondary ide, master hdd = secondary ide, slave No diff between hard disk and cdrom for ide device numbering. Do you have any other hard drives/cdroms plugged in? What your showing would say to me that you don't. > This is caused by the fact that once, my Red Hat 6.2 partition was on a > separate hard drive and was later copied to space on my new Maxtor.

If you copied things, made sure /etc/fstab was correct and reran an appropriately configured lilo you should be ok. ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.Opnix.com # A t-shirt a day keeps the noose (tie) away. - der.hans
