I have hooked up an old IDE drive to my system: Maxtor 7120AT CHS=1024/14/17 Normally I boot from the SCSI disk. When the IDE disk is installed I boot from a floppy so I can select "hd(1,a)/kernel" from the prompt. However, then then probe of wdc0 fails and the disk is inaccessible. It just so happens that this IDE disk has Linux installed on it... when I let the system boot off of it (by removing the floppy) it boots up Linux OK, so the BIOS settings are OK and disk is readable. Any thoughts on how to get it to work? Finally, I see this message sometimes... what does it mean? Any relevance? BIOS basemem (639k) != RTC basememe (640k) Thanks, -Archie _______________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.
