I have put my hd in raid, and it
recognizes as primary ide. The raid is disabled in the jumper configuration.
The linux nows  maps the hd as hda. I´m
still getting a kernel panic problem.
something like:
VFS: cannot open root devie "300" or unknown-block(0,3)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,3)

but I´m sure my lilo conf root= boot option is right. I´ve assigned
root=/dev/hda8
where /dev/hda6 -> boot
        /dev/hda7 -> swap
        /dev/hda8 -> root

any tips ?

tks
