Reading through the story-book I got the impression that you were booting of
the scsi drive.
When you added IDE disk, you did configure them in the CMOS as drive C and D
(master/slave primary/secondary IDE)?
Linux runs happy without the bios knowing about the disks, actually it is
requied that the bios should "see" the scsi drive as the boot device for LILO
to work - as LILO is using the bios.
Your new motherboard ha probably did you a favor by "showing up" some ide
drives... perhaps if you set in the bios C and D drives to none.... ????
This setting in the CMOS survives a bios change....
Just idea...
