I tried both hdb=noprobe and hdb=none but the boot up
routine paid absolutely no attention. The same problem persists. Is there
any other place I could tell the bootup routine to ignore hdb?

Hi NN,
Again, thanks so much for your patience and knowledge. I'm learning a lot
this way.

The above link you sent seems to be exactly what I need! I've followed the
steps.
1) check if you have ide_core loaded as module:
Yes, I do.
lsmod | grep ide_core
ide_core 108292 4 ide_cd,ide_disk,via82cxxx,generic
2) Check if you have an initrd in /boot:
Yes, I do.
ls /boot/initrd*`uname -r`
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686
3) Check if you use /etc/modprobe.conf, or /etc/modprobe.d
I use /etc/modprobe.d
ls -ld /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-04-19 09:07 /etc/modprobe.d

4) So if I understand things correctly, to stop my system from probing hdb I
should execute the following command:
echo 'options ide_core options="hdb=noprobe"' >/etc/modprobe.d/noprobe

This will create a file, noprobe in my /etc/modprobe.d folder.

Then I execute
sudo update-initramfs -u

5) I'll skip this step

After that I just reboot and as they say "enjoy the no probing".
6) reboot

Does all this seem correct?
Thanks again.
Jonathan
