[LBo] Can't see the second SATA disk on Redhat 4

[Emen Zhao]

Here are a bit more info... from dmesg, following messages are displayed

Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: ST3160812AS, ATA DISK drive
Probing IDE interface ide1...
hdc: TSSTcorpDVD-ROM TS-H353B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
Probing IDE interface ide2...
Probing IDE interface ide3...
Probing IDE interface ide4...
Probing IDE interface ide5...
Using cfq io scheduler
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hda: max request size: 1024KiB
hda: 312500000 sectors (160000 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=19452/255/63
hda: cache flushes supported
 hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 < hda5 >
hdc: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 198kB Cache

It detected nothing on ide4, while from BIOS settings, ide4 is connected to
the second drive.

Thanks,
Emen
