Description of problem:
After adding an extra disk to an RH 8.0 system the disk will not
get through the partition check at boot. Otherwise the system works 
OK.

system P166, 96 MB, hda 8GB, hdb cdrom, hdc 120 GB works OK.

Tried to add extra hdd harddisk (120 GB), tried just about all:
- Western Digital (slave setting, or cable detect).
- Bios detects the disks and they can be accessed from DOS.
- Bootloader Grub + RH 8.1 Kernel will just hang on partition check.
- Tried different bios settings (autodetect, manual, different 
geometry sizes)
- Even tried the disk alone as master on the cable and as slave on 
the other interface as hdb instead of the cdrom
- Tried an other disk Samsung... same problems

I'm just stuck, the machine will work with a hdd=noprobe, but with no 
access to the disk. Even putting in the hdd=cil,heads,sectors will 
not work.

Kinda desparate...
