Re: ide drives - revisited

[Ben Dugdale]

I installed, formatted etc, this drive in the RH8 install program. This
using the old cable (UDMA 33 Style). When I put the new style cable in
and booted, my initial problems disappeared but boot failed to swapon,
as it could not find hda3. I used the second drive connector on the new
cable and swapon was fine on all consecutive boots. Do the newer IDE
cables have A and B ends like a floppy? Or is it just coincidence?

I find this a little interesting since I have a similar set-up and symptom.

AMD 1800+
ABIT KR7
Western Digital WDC200BB-75CLB0

I was getting this message and removed the drive from service. This all happened after I installed RH 8.0 from 7.2 but I called a coincidence.

I guess I'm going to have to take a closer look at my cable setup before writing that drive off.
