I can, and it is set directly to boot from master on first IDE |
14 |
controller. I haven't changed or messed with that in the course of |
15 |
this swap. So seems unlikely the bios has confused between IDE |
16 |
controller where the boot disk is, and PCI sata controller where the |
17 |
swap is taking place. |

It looked to me like the message would becoming from that PCI sata |
20 |
controller. |

That doesn't look like something coming from the normal bios does it? |

The disk referred to is the new added one, of 2 on a PCI sata |
28 |
controller. And I've seen this message without a disk reference, |
29 |
every time I boot. |

I've just ignored it and booting was fine. But now there is a disk |
34 |
reference and bootup stops there. |

Boot partition is not involved here. Its on a a different (IDE) disk. |
47 |
|
48 |
Its not on a partition actually but in the MBR of Master drive on |
49 |
first IDE controller. The newly added disk is sata and is on a PCI |
50 |
sata controller (Adeptec 1205sa). |
