I suppose that your disk will be in good state, ok,
A time ago I had the same error (with hdc), and was that had forgotten
to clear the hdc=ide-scsi from of the line append in lilo.

Possibly it is your problem, although it is strange to me with hda.

Please check your command line at boot, and remove the bad apppend line in lilo.conf

works perfectly. The same problems show up on all systems. All kernel
version 2.4.x.

I check that. Don't have this defined.


I guess it could be my .config

CONFIG_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=m
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640_ENHANCED=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y


I wanted ID to be loaded as a module, but couldn't set CONFIG_IDE=m as
that would prevent "hdparm -d1 /dev/hda" from working.

Thanks,
Jeff

You don't have IDE hard disk support included so the kernel finds
it has no way to read the partition table.

You're right. After recompiling with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y instead of
"m" (module), the error went away.

But, that means IDE still can't be compile as a module. I would like to
be able to load and unload ide from ramdisk. Is there a patch to make ide
modular?

Thanks,
Jeff
