Peter, I am not getting there, I am stuck at LI :)
And, Shachar, I know what NORMAL, LARGE and LBA are. Both drives are
installed as LBA, but the kernel choses to see the 2nd drive as LARGE (not
normal as you said). But, the problem is with /dev/hda, which is seen as
LBA.
I'll prolly take Peter's advice, and force the BIOS(i.e. disable Auto).
