<br><br>key words ide=reverse<br><br><br>SOLUTION:
<br>
After much Googling, I found that the solution is to use a kernel
<br>
parameter "ide=reverse" in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file to force the
<br>
kernel to load the ide controller drivers in reverse order from the way
<br>
they are found on the PCI bus. (use "lspci" to see the order of your PCI
<br>
devices on the bus)
<br><br><br><p>So this is what I did:
<br>
</p><p>0. make a backup copy of /boot/grub/grub.conf
<br>
1. edit /boot/grub/grub.conf (you must have root privileges to do this)
<br>
and change the default kernel section (usually the first kernel section
<br>
listed in the file)
<br>
</p><p>FROM:
<br>
</p><p>title Fedora Core (2.6.7-1.494.2.2)
<br>
root (hd0,0)
<br>
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
<br>
initrd /initrd-2.6.7-1.494.2.2.img
<br>
</p><p>TO: (notice the "kernel" line is changed):
<br>
</p><p>title Fedora Core (2.6.7-1.494.2.2)
<br>
root (hd0,0)
<br>
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 ro ide=reverse root=LABEL=/ rhgb
<br>
quiet
<br>
initrd /initrd-2.6.7-1.494.2.2.img
<br>
</p><p>After this, I rebooted the computer, and everything was back to normal,
<br>
and I can now connect four more drives if I need to.
<br>
</p>Hope this helps.
