Okay, it finally occurred to me that my lilo.conf was wrong. Note:
image=/boot/bzImage-ultra
label=ultra
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.17.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda1
append="pci=reverse ide2=0x78d0,0x78d3 ide3=0x78c4,0x78c7"
This wasn't working because I was using the old initrd. By removing
that line completely, the system came right up.
Now I have yet another problem. dmesg contains the following regarding
the drive:
# dmesg | grep hd
ide2: BM-DMA at 0x7880-0x7887, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
ide4: BM-DMA at 0x7888-0x788f, BIOS settings: hdi:pio, hdj:pio
hde: probing with STATUS(0x50) instead of ALTSTATUS(0x01)
hde: WDC WD450AA-00BAA0, ATA DISK drive
hdf: probing with STATUS(0x00) instead of ALTSTATUS(0x01)
SCSI device sda: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 8388315 [4095 MB] [4.1
GB]
SCSI device sdb: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 8515173 [4157 MB] [4.2
GB]
hde: bad special flag: 0x03
So, /dev/hde is my new device. I don't know what the last line is
referencing. But,
# /sbin/fdisk /dev/hde
Unable to open /dev/hde
So, there's definitely something amiss. Following is all of what I
believe to be the pertinent information. If I need to provide anything
more, just say the word.
My /proc/ide contains the following:
# ls -al
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 10 16:46 .
dr-xr-xr-x 52 root root 0 Oct 10 11:30 ..
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:06 drivers
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:06 hde -> ide2/hde
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 10 17:06 ide2
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:06 pdc202xx
drivers is an empty file. pdc202xx contains:
# cat pdc202xx
PDC20262 Chipset.

/proc/ide/ide2/hde contains the following information:
# ls -al

dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 10 17:08 .
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 10 17:08 ..

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:09 model
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 10 17:09 settings
The file media contains: disk
The file model contains: WDC WD450AA-00BAA0, which is the correct
identity of the drive connected to the board.
Anybody have any ideas as to what I've screwed up now?
Thanks!
