easy lilo question



i hope its an easy lilo question for you but i am about to kick that server :(
 
i have a 3ware ATA Raid 7000-2b controller
together with an promises fasttrakt controller
together with 4 normal IDEs in a box
 
i run woody with 2.4.18 bf24 (now)
 
i want to boot from my 3ware mirror on sda
 
df -h
/dev/sda1             5.2G  590M  4.3G  12% /
/dev/sda5             9.5G  5.0G  4.0G  55% /home
/dev/sda6             142G   21G  114G  16% /data
/dev/sda4              15M  5.6M  8.8M  39% /boot
[...]
ide drives
[...]
 
i had everything working but after pluging another drive to the promise it stopped working
i tried to kick the promise out
i tried to kick additional all other ide things out
i disabled all ide channels expect that where the cdrom is on to boot rescbf24 to get the system up again
 
the controllers are in right order (3ware in the upperst slot and the promise below)
 
they have no irq sharing
 
when calling lilo i get that

i would love lilo if it tells me that
Warning: /dev/sda is not on the first disk
and includes the solution like
/dev/hd? is the first disk try that
 
or something simulare
