 I've had the problem, and the drives were configured correctly. In my case
 I solved it by attaching my HDD to my SB16's IDE port. This was back in
 the days when Linux knew about just the one IDE adaptor so putting the CDD
 there wasn't an option.

 Fortunately with the advent of EIDE the problem seems not to occur
 anymore.
