A solutions is in the workings. I received a very long delay from a repeated "lost interrupt" output error message to the console from both hdc and hdd drives. The default kernel installation doesn't recognize two drives using the same IRQ with Kernel 2.4.3-20 (at least that's what I gathered from reading some documentation). A 420Mb Conner drive is sharing an IRQ with a CD-ROM drive in the second port on an EIDE controller card. What needs to be changed in the Kernel to solve this problem? It's not necessary to abide by the below attached "Note:" (it's a standard attachment). The first paragraph address is sufficient enough for *my* messages.
