Hi Henk,
I use k3b too, and I have hdc=ide-scsi in /etc/grub.conf.
That means hdc (my ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive) is scsi emulate.
That's works great for me.
You have to know if your hdd is your ATAPI device:
# dmesg | grep hdd
Folks, just a quick word of warning before you attempt this...
Yesterday afternoon, I edited /etc/grub.conf to add "hdx=ide-scsi". (I'm
saying hdx, becuase I forget the correct letter for my configuration.
Needless to say, I checked the dmesg output to find the correct drive
letter.)
But when I got around to rebooting the system, GRUB choked, and choked
hard. It could no longer recognize the Linux partitions.
Load up the Fedora CD #1 and run "linux rescue". While I was not able to
enter and move about the file system, the grub.conf file had vanished...
I ended up having to do a reinstall from scratch. I wasn't even given the
option of upgrading a previous install.
So, if this works for you -- great. But be careful when you do this, or
you might end up hosing your system like I did.
