hdd detection

I have a device that has only one IDE port.  Not 2.  Linux
keeps trying
to detect the drives at hdc and hdd.  This slows down boot.

ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override
with
idebus=xx
hda: PQI IDE DiskOnModule, ATA DISK drive
hdc: IRQ probe failed (0xfef8)
hdc: IRQ probe failed (0xfef8)
hdc: no response (status = 0x0a), resetting drive
hdc: IRQ probe failed (0xfef8)
hdc: no response (status = 0x0a)
hdd: IRQ probe failed (0xfef8)
hdd: IRQ probe failed (0xfef8)
hdd: no response (status = 0x0a), resetting drive
hdd: IRQ probe failed (0xfef8)
hdd: no response (status = 0x0a)
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hda: attached ide-disk driver.
hda: 64000 sectors (33 MB) w/1KiB Cache, CHS=31/32/63


Is there a way to tell the kernel that hdc and hdd or ide1
does not
exist?

What does the bios show?  If they're listed there, disable
them.

add

hdc=none hdd=none

to your kernel entry in grub.conf 

later,

Do /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd exist?

Thanks.  This did the trick.  No the boot takes around 10
seconds.

I have 2 Sun V20Z servers running Linux which exhibit the
same problem. 
The machines have 2 SCSI drives with no IDE devices. The IDE
devices are 
disabled in the BIOS. This should help speed up boot time.
Thanks!
