[ltp] TP600E and extra hard drive

[David]

I have a slide in drive bay that holds a 2.5" hard drive. This slides 
into the slot on the front where the diskette drive or cd rom drive also 
fit. I am using SuSE 9.3.  When I use the computer with the diskette 
drive or cd it is detected and can be used like any other drive. When I 
put the hard drive in place it is detected after I add an fstab entry 
for it. When this entry is in place and I boot the computer the 
initialization fails with something to the effect a partition is missing 
that is not root and the pad will only boot to a command line. If I rem 
the fstab entry out the pad will boot fine. Can anyone enlighten me on 
the proper way to have this drive detected? Another thing is if when I 
try to mount it manually it is not found.
