May have solved my 80-gig hd problem

[Joseph Norton]

Hi listers:

Yesterday, I reported trying to get Redhad 8.0 to boot with an ata133 
controler card to get my 80-gig hd running.  I still had no success 
there.  However, I was able to hook the hd up to the 2nd IDE port and get 
it to work with Western Digital's Easy Bios utility that they use with 
their drives.  Now, the hd is recognized as /dev/hdd.  However, I couldn't 
get it to be called the "master" drive.  The only way I can get the jumpers 
set so the computer will act happy and not hang at boot time is to set it 
so that the computer reports the hd as slave and the CD burner as master (I 
understand it should really be the other way around, but, I couldn't seem 
to make any other jumper settings work.).  Now, redhat 8.0 seems to install 
properly, but, I am wondering if any of you have had similar sessions where 
you about pulled all of your hair out trying to get a piece of hardware 
recognized the right way and if you can give some pointers on any kind of a 
better solution.

Thanks!
