I have a server that I just got a 180GB IDE HD for....but the controller cards I have don't support drives over 137GB, so I had to use the one Western Digital gave me. Once I added that in, in threw off my drive assignments. Here are the setups BEFORE the upgrade: Onboard IDE Pri/Sec Controller Onboard HPT Raid Pri/Sec Controller And after, I added a PCI Promise TX2. My problem is, the Promise controller starts up before the HPT controller does. So, what used to be ad4-6, is now ad8-10, and the new drive is ad4. I thought this would not be a big deal and I would just have to shift the assignments in FSTAB and I'd be all set. BUT, when I try mounting any of the old partitions that got "reassigned", I get "mount: /dev/ad8s1e: No such file or directory". And when I run the Label part of sysinstall, it doesn't even show any partitions on there! I'm sure there's a simple solution to this...but can someone PLEASE help me??? Many thanks, --Brian
