I have posted the sections as you requested and also the relevant portions of my dmesg. Per Mike's advice, I looked in /proc/ide and found what I would consider to be normal (looking at my other boxen, anywya). Under the /proc/ide I've got a bunch of symlinks into ide0 and ide1 directories with all my drive geometries and stuff. Nothing too impressive, but if anyone would like to see that I can post it. hda1 starts at cylinder 1. -Brian ----------------------------------------------------- posted dmesg: PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 09 PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0xe000-0xe007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xe008-0xe00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA hda: IC35L040AVER07-0, ATA DISK drive hdc: DVDROM 10X, ATAPI CDROM drive hdd: ATAPI 40X CDROM, ATAPI CDROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 hda: IC35L040AVER07-0, 32253MB w/1916kB Cache, CHS=4111/255/63, UDMA hdc: ATAPI DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.11 hdd: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
