Minor boot problem

Am 20. Jul, 2000 schwäzte Mark Berkwitt so:

These last two would say to me that there's a prob with the cdrom. 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.

If you copied things, made sure /etc/fstab was correct and reran an
appropriately configured lilo you should be ok.
