I know it needs to be on hda, and I am trying to change it so it is, that's what I need help with. Also, I tried taking my hard drive off my controller card and hooking it right to the motherboard's IDE and Linux boots fine and the harddrive is shows as hda. But what do I do to fix Linux so I can use the card, its getting to be a real pain in the ass switching the cable everytime I want to boot Linux.
