Thanks for the link. Just to be sure I understand, in my /boot/grub/menu.lst
file I have this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro
I should change this line to
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro hdb=noprobe
Is this the correct place for the boot option?
Thanks again.
Jonathan
