Maybe you're talking about some special situation, and I realize my situation was slightly different than yours, but recently (month or so ago) I added two IDE drives to a system with two SCSI drives already. Besides some problems with IRQs (BIOS fault), it was no hassle at all; I recompiled the kernel with IDE support for my controller, moved the bzImage to /boot, edited grub.conf, and rebooted with the new kernel; it worked great. I don't know why you were even fussing with mkinitrd. > So, I ask, WTF can't Debian do this? Yeah, I agree with you there. It's just being stupid. I run Gentoo (which I'll admit has it's shortcomings, just like anything else) and if you use their utility (genkernel) to compile the kernel (which I've only done once; like to do it by hand, personally), it'll automatically add the autodetection support in the kernel it builds just like is in their LiveCD. > Linux is not long for this house, at least not on a workstation. Whatever works for you, but I've had no problem with it on my primary workstation for over two years (since I got this machine). Tom
