Turn off plug-and-play if you can. If not, copy the kernel from the rescue disk to your hard disk, and re-run LILO. You might have to build a kernel with plug-and-play enabled - I don't know why you have a different kernel on the rescue disk and on your hard disk if you have not already done that.
Debian runs fine with one disk on each IDE interface. The second disk would be hdc, not hdb, in this case. Bruce -- Can you get your operating system fixed when you need it?
