Before installing 2.2-GAMMA, I had 2.1.5 installed. I have two hard disks
and one IDE CD-ROM drive. At first, I had all the devices plugged in at
the same time. 2.1.5 would only recognize the two hard disks. I was told
that it was because 2.1.5 could not deal with a configuration with two IDE
controllers.

Is this true? If so, is there a fix in the offing?

Thanks.
Rajesh
