Well, i tried the altered values that you suggested to me but nothing
changed.

More specifically i used the following values at the lilo prompt:

1) LILO: <kernel_name> ide2=0xb000,0xb406 ide3=0xbc00,0xc006

2) LILO: <kernel_name> ide2=0xb000,0x0 ide3=0xbc00,0x0

and 3) LILO: <kernel_name> ide2=0xb000 ide3=0xbc00

Also i tried without parameters and it does not work!

At the boot process the following appears with 2 & 3 from the above
values:

HPT366: onboard version of chipset, pin1=1 pin2=2
HPT366: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 98
HPT366: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    ide2: BM-DMA at 0xb800-0xb807, BIOS settings: hde:DMA, hdf:pio
HPT366: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 99
HPT366: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    ide3: BM-DMA at 0xc400-0xc407, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
hde: probing with STATUS(0x50) instead of ALTSTATUS(0xff)
hde: ST328040A, ATA DISK drive
hdf: probing with STATUS(0x00) instead of ALTSTATUS(0xff)
hdf: probing with STATUS(0x00) instead of ALTSTATUS(0xff)
ide2 at 0xb000-0xb007,0xb206 on irq 15

Of course when i tried to fdisk it then:

[root@Jufis /root]# fdisk /dev/hde

Unable to open /dev/hde

Trying with hda:

[root@Jufis /root]# fdisk /dev/hda

Unable to open /dev/hda

Any further comments or sugestion are valuable.

TIA,
