Hi everyone Ok, after a couple of days of searching google, usenet, etc. I am offically stuck. A little background info first: I have 5 ide devices. hda, hdb, hdc, and hdd are on the motherboard's IDE controler. The fifth device, hde, was a Maxtor drive hung off of an Adaptec 1200A IDE card. Since there is only on disk connected to this card, ther is no raid involved. This is a dual boot system where hda is XXXindows, hdb is Fedora Core, hdc and hdd are CD-ROMS, and hde is a shared drive between the 2 OS's. Now everything was just peachy until the Adaptec card Bombed on me. I had a spare Maxtor Ultra 133 card that I replaced it with. If the maxtor card is installed, regardless of whether I have a disk attatched or not. Fedora fails to boot. It gives a Kernel Panic: no init found. Remove the card, Fedora Boots fine. Help please
