Hi, It seems to me there is a rule about booting off hda and hdb only (I think the documentation says "the first 2 ide drives"). It's right up there with the 1023 sector rule. I hear folks have gotten around that now-adays, so maybe there is a way around your problem too. Can you rearrange things and hang it off the primary slave? That works.
