We used before the "old" IDE-driver hd.c and it worked fine, until we had to use a larger disk (1.5GB). Then we disabled hd.c, and appended hdb=flash. Then initially at boot both drives are identified: PIIX4: IDE controller... PIIX4 chipset revision 1 PIIX4: not 100% native mode... ide0: BM-DMA at... hda: Hitachi... hdb: ... ide0 at... hdb: 31488 sectors (16MB)... Partition check: hdb: hdb1 ... And that's it. hda never appears again. And what is also strange, the order of hda/b is swapped, compared to the old hd.c driver and to BIOS settings. What's the reason for this behaviour and how do we fix it?
