Summary:  Can not find second hard drive on PCI IDE Controller

Original Submission:  Bizare error here, installed red hat 7.2 on a secondary hard \
disk, windows 98 is on the first drive. Both drives are attached to a Maxtor ATA100 \
PCI IDE controller, on the primary channel. Grub will boot but would not be able to \
find the secondary drive, error 21. Could however boot into linux with disk, then \
running grub from the terminal I could see the windows drive as (hd0,0) and linux as \
(hd1,0) in linux they are hde1 & hdf1 respectively. I moved the grub folder to the \
windows drive c:\boot\grub and then loaded grub in the MBR to load from there, worked \
fine, can boot windows, but when booting linux it says can not find drive.  Have \
tried root(hdx) up to unfesable numbers, seems its not even showing up.  I can move \
the drives to the primary onboard and this problem is resolved... however it is a \
serious down grade in speed. I have seen no documentation so far on this type of \
problem, have I just stumbled upon another sucky IDE controller?  

Also for info the drives are both Maxtor's, one 40 GB, one 30 GB, both ATA100s. The \
card is labeled Maxtor but has a Promise chipset!

What are the contents of your /boot/grub/device.map file?  It should look something \
like

(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hde
(hd1) /dev/hdf
