Look in /proc/pci, look for Promise IDE controller. Then take one of the addresses (I can never remember which one, mine has FIVE) and try: lilo: linux ide2=0x0000 where 0x0000 is the address that you enter at lilo/boot time. Once you get one that works you can add it as an append line in /etc/lilo.conf However, my problem is that when I try to make the promise card ide0, it keeps moving the address around and won't boot. :( -- Tom Cross Voice: 320-253-1020 FAX: 320-253-6956 System Administrator E-mail: tomc at kendeco.com Airgas Kendeco Tool Crib http://www.kendeco.com --> Now with new and improved extension number 207!!! <-- St Cloud Area Linux Users Group: http://www.scalug.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
