My Debian testing system (2.4.27-1-386) has two SCSI hds and SCSI DVD reader and CD burner. The only ide device is a 60GB hd in which I installed a WinXP environment. Linux is booting without problems, but it does not detect (discover1) the ide controller and drive, thus making it impossibile to mount the ntfs WinXP disk. Before installing "testing" I had tried "stable", which did not have this problem. Is there something I can do, without reinstalling or recompiling, to make Linux "notice" the presence of my IDE disk?
Why not just manually add the drive to your /etc/fstab, and put ntfs in your /etc/modules? (Or, better yet, build ntfs directly into the kernel?)
Because it wouldn't do anything useful? Because ntfs has nothing to do with the ide controller?
I've had similar problems with 2.4.27 and in my opinion it is just broken. 2.4.25 works fine though on my sarge system. 2.4.26 may or may not work I haven't extensively tested it.
