I have 2 IDE drives and when I installed patch00072 it caused troubles with respect to it finding the second drive. I have left that patch out and all is fine. I have 2 IDE drives, DOS at the start of the first and use OSBS. I can't remember what the exact problem was, but I think the kernel found the second disk duing boot up, but when it actually went to talk to it, ie fsck, mount, label, etc is didn't want to play ball. Greg (greg@coombs.anu.edu.au) ps. your mileage may vary as I saw noone else with this problem!
