Hello everyone,
Good news and questions:
I have connected the cdrom to the secondary channel as a slave drive and
everything works. I have hard disk on primary ( master) and no other
devices are connected to the controller.
Probably bad news (or question). I have noticed that during boot, it never
probes hdc device. Instead, hdb is probed twice!
The messages, that I see are the following
.......
ide: i82371 PIIX(Triton) onPCI bus 0 function 57
ide0: BM-DMA at 0x3000-0x3007
ide1: BM-DMA at 0x3008-0x300f
hda: Maxtor 82559A4,2441MB w/256kB Cache, CHS=628/128/63, DMA
hdb: probing STATUS instead of ALLSTATUS
hdb: probing STATUS instead of ALLSTATUS
hdd: DF7910C(-D0161 ), ATAPI CDROM drive
I do not feel qualified to judge whether it is right or wrong, but it
looks strange.....
With best wishes,
Lazar
