[plug] IDE tape drive [solution]

[Onno Benschop]

Hi folks, you may recall a problem with an IDE tape drive not showing up
on the secondary ide channel under 2.4.18 or 2.4.21 on an Intel
d845ebg2. Here is the solution:

The problem:

Two HDD on IDE0 one Tape on IDE1 as Master - second channel is not
recognised by Linux anymore, even though the BIOS shows all three
devices.


The solution:

Move the slave drive from IDE0 to IDE1.


Now that it works, who needs to know this problem? Is it a BIOS issue,
is it a Kernel issue - who do I tell?

Cheers,

Onno Benschop
