Hello everyone,

I'm still rather new with Linux.

My computer has 2 IDE connectors on the mainboard.
On IDE1, there is
/dev/hda used for gentoo
/dev/hdb used for data

On IDE2, two DVD-(-R) ROM drives are connected.
These drives are all recognized and are working so far.

However, I also use an IDE-controller card and a 160GB HD connected to it, with a Win2000 partition and several data partitions.
The controller is a HighPoint Rocket 133SB with a Bios onthe card.

Knoppix is recognising these partitions under /dev/hdg without any problems.

When I try other Linux distributions however, they won't recognize that HD. I would like to enable that drive in gentoo.

So while in Knoppix, I tried" lsmod" and this is what I received:

My guess that "ide-scsi" is the thing I'm looking for. How do I find out more about this, so that I can enable it in other distributions?

I know that this isn't the gentoo message board, but I thought that maybe you could help me, because Knoppix works with the drive.
