9.04 can't find second hard drive.

[Accessys@smart.net]

have done both.....??

no effect.  in fact I have removed all peripherals and tried to boot
the old SUSE 10 and the computer won't boot, says there is no boot
media.  this is an upgrade with a new motherboard, CPU, and Graphics
card and new Harddrive.

was running an hour before shutting down to make the upgrade....would
boot fine in SUSE on old system,  only problem was that it was "olde"
and couldn't run some of the newer software.

Check jumper settings on the IDE hard drive.  Or disconnect the CD
drive and put the IDE hard drive on that connector (on the ribbon).

HTH,
