Thanks, that worked. An interesting note. While things were running backwards, that is on /dev/hde the filesystem was very slow. An operation that generally ran in about 5 seconds took about a minute. A large filesystem backup, generally taking about 5 minutes, took about 45 minutes. As of reversing things back (/dev/hda) speed is back to normal. The system only seemed slowed on disk access. > On Wed, 28 Aug 2002 brian@worldcontrol.com wrote: > > > While running 2.4.19-pre7-ac2 my system was happily buzzing away. > > > > I upgraded to 2.4.19 and my /dev/hda became /dev/hde which caused > > various boot problems, which I worked around. > > > > It seems clear that upon booting 2.4.19, the newer kernel recognized > > the "other" IDE controller on the MB, which 2.4.19-pre7-ac2 had not. > > > > The manual that came with the MB said to use the IDE slots marked > > IDE0 / IDE1 if I wasn't going to use RAID. > > > > If I wanted to use RAID use the slots marked RAID0/RAID1. > > > > I was just wondering how linux decides which controller is first > > (hda-hdd) and which is second (hde-hdh). > > > > Here is what I see from dmesg: > > > > Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 > > ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx > > PDC20265: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 70 > > PDC20265: chipset revision 2 > > PDC20265: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later > > ide0: BM-DMA at 0xb400-0xb407, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:DMA > > ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb408-0xb40f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio > > VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 89 > > PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:11.1.
