For 2.4.22, 2.4.23, and 2.6.0, "hde" and "/dev/ide/host2" show up as "hda" and "/dev/ide/host0". The bios shows the hard drive as the first primary drive. The computer's got only one hard drive, by the way. Does this info help? Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
