Most of the time when I see this problem, it is because there is no support for the drive compiled in the kernel. Did you check the following under the Block Device section of menuconfig when compilinf the 2.2.10 kernel?
Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support This is of course assuming an IDE hard drive. Hope this helps, -- Paul Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Where do all the bits go when the computer is done with them?
