Re: CF and HD problem working together

Thank you for your advice.
I did the following and it works fine now.

in /etc/mkinitrd/modules i added :
ide-mod options="hda=flash"

In my config the flashcard  is on the first controller. It's the master.
My ide disk is the slave /dev/hdb

I have then rebuilt the mkinitrd.
So now it's not necessary for me to have /etc/modules/ide file.

Lilo is on the secondary disk so my lilo.conf nows only about /dev/hdb.
In the bios I boot on "C only".

It's the first time I can see the /dev/hda device working.

Maybe M. Lord is not completely right ?

Regards
