I have a system with 386DX/25, 8Mb RAM, IDE disk, AHA1542B and Fujitsu 
SCSI disk, Linux 0.97-pl1.5.).
On my IDE driver I have one primary partition for dos, one small
primary partition for Linux root, and one extended partition all for
OS/2.  On the SCSI disk I have three primary partitions for Linux,
(two for data, one for swap) and one big extended partition divided
two logical partitions, one for DOS and one for OS/2.

My problem is this. When I boot Linux from floppy, everything is OK.
In the boot up message, it stated that the primary and all the logical
partitions are recongnized.

However, if I boot the same image from hard disk, (shoelace installed)
at boot up, it stated that the primary partitions are OK, the logical
partition on IDE is recongnized, but for the SCSI disk, the primary
partitions are recongnized , the logical partitions on the extended
partitions are NOT recongnized, it gives error messages 'cann't read
partition table on device 804' or something like that. Then I cann't 
access the extended partition on SCSI disk.  
Note that when I boot from floppy everything is fine, I CAN access 
the extended partition on the SCSI disk just fine.

Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance.

messages, I have not received anything yet.
