    For some reason, my computer will not boot Red Hat Linux 9 off an IDE
    hard disk. It boots just fine off a SCSI, and Windows boots off an IDE
    without a hitch.
    I ask because my last SCSI died last week, and I'm forced to boot from a
    CD that I made from a boot floppy. Since the SMP kernel won't fit on a
    floppy, I'm down to one processor...
    Can anyone help me?

    Thanks!
