Dual Pentium won't boot from IDE HD

I have a dual-pentium system, I just installed RedHat 5.1 (so that means
2.0.34 kernel) but the machine won't boot from the IDE disk. It boots
from the floppy just fine, and it boots NT from the SCSI disk just fine,
but when I configure the BIOS to boot from the IDE disk (Primary on IDE#2)
I get "LI" and it hangs.

Which FAQ should I be looking IN?-)

Dual PII-400MHZ
128Meg RAM
4Gig SCSI with integrated Adaptec (aic7xxx seems to handle it fine)
ATAPI CDROM and JAX drive on IDE#1

Maxtor HD (with Linux) on IDE#2 <-- MBR here
