What is the device name(s) for the drives on the Promise card? full setup: /dev/hdb - CD-ROM on primary slave (on-board controller, VIA MVP3) /dev/hde - IBM Deskstar on primary master (Promise) /dev/hdg - IBM Deskstar on secondary master (Promise) /dev/sda - Seagate on ID0 (boot) of Initio 9100UW /dev/scd0 - CD-RW on Initio What are the partitions/mount points you specified? / /dev/sda1 /boot /dev/hde1 /usr /dev/hde3 /home /dev/hde4 Thanks I will look at this. This is something we will have to address in the future. There is not currently a mechanism to determine which drive is 0x80 as far as the BIOS is concerned. Adding a UI interface to allow the user is not an option at this time because we have frozen the UI. For future releases, you will be able to change the order of the drives if our guess is not correct |
