RH7.3 not on first drive woes...

[Bill Freeman]

	Just in case anyone else runs into this or something similar,
the easy fix is not to load initrd.  This works because the base
kernel can mount an ext2, non-raid, non-lvm root on the fouth ide
device without the need for any modules, thank you very much.  A SCSI
root, for example, would have been another matter.  If you're using
grub you can just comment out the initrd line for the kernel in
question in /boot/grub/grub.conf with a '#'.

	I'll probably not be able to resist trying to figure out the
problem more exactly, but that will be next week at the soonest.  (I
wonder if /dev in the initrd doesn't have ide nodes beyound hda# or
hdb#?)
