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
