Partition check:
/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: [PTBL] [10587/240/63] p1 p2 p3 p4
For 2.4.22, 2.4.23, and 2.6.0, "hde" and "/dev/ide/host2" show up as "hda" and "/dev/ide/host0".
The bios shows the hard drive as the first primary drive. The computer's got only one hard drive, by the way.
Does this info help?
