[ltp] T23, Redhat 7.3 & ultrabay drive

[Tim Abbott]

I have recently installed Redhat 7.3 on my T23, including an update to
Kernel 2.4.18-17.7.x.  I want to use an ultrabay disk as the data disk
on this system and retain as much as possible of the internal drive for
WinXP.  However, Redhat refuses to recognise the removable disk.  It is
recognised during the boot sequence as drive hdc, but does not appear
in /etc/fstab, /etc/mtab or on '/sbin/sfdisk -l'.  dmesg does complain
that it has no driver. 

dmesg gives:

    ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1860-0x1867, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1868-0x186f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio
hda: IC25T048ATDA05-0, ATA DISK drive
hdc: IC25T060ATCS05-0, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
blk: queue c0385f84, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
blk: queue c0385f84, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
hda: 93759120 sectors (48005 MB) w/1806KiB Cache, CHS=6201/240/63, UDMA(100)
ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide
Partition check:
 hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 >

and no other reference to hdc except later on:

ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide
hdc: driver not present
ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide
hdc: driver not present

Any ideas...?

Cheers,

	Tim
