Nope, walked through it step by step. Even set the BIOS to not boot
quickly with no effect.

I've just checked again, still no ide1.

Both the controllers appear to be on. The BIOS reports three devices,
two HDD, one TAPE. There appear to be no controllers turned off
explicitly. The Secondary Master is set to [AUTO] (Which is what I
normally set everything to).



Any other ideas?
