Re: 2.1.122 is confused with two ide controllers

Have you tried giving lilo the 'root=xxxx' command? If hda1 is now
being detected at hde1, I suggest typing
'linux root=/dev/hde1' at the LILO prompt.

The change hda1->hde1 may be intentional, as support for up to 8 idea
devices was added, I think, in 2.1.122. However, you may not have /dev/
files for them! So you may have to poke around in patch-2.1.122 for the
proper major/minor device numbers for /dev/hde and /dev/hdf. I think I
remember seeing this in the patch ... just search for 'hde' :)

Does that help? I don't have a Promise card or anything, so I don't
know. But it sound like it would make sense.
