You have to recompile the kernel and test it first.
Thanks for your reply. I solved my problem: when I ran xconfig I set by mistake "include IDE/ATAPI-2 DISK support" to "m" instead to "y" ;-) I rerecompiled the kernel and now it's ok. About lilo : I use lilo to boot on HDD1 on which win98 and potato 2.2r2 are installed. And on HDD2 "potato -> woody" is installed.(I experiment ....) I don't know if lilo can accommodate the three systems ? off topic: I put the module udf in the kernel 2.4.17 and now I can read my CDRW (burned with udf fs) with linux. Thanks again. -- Gerard
