I cna't find it now but seems like I remember that Redhat has trouble
with any drive > ide 1. May be that the cd would have trouble as well if
you swapped them but I don't know. I would try swapping the cd and the
linux disc and if that does not work punt and put them both on the
primary. MAy be a rabbit trail but in the absence of additional
information I would go that route.
