Check the drives on the first channel with HDToolbox. If one of them (or both) comes up with a requester "drives have been added or removed", let it save the changes.

Make sure that the IDEfix program is run at the beginning of startup-sequence. The CD drive can work without, but but for the HDD on the second channel, the IDEfix software must be running.

If your startup-sequence looks like this:

Code: [Select]

; $VER: Startup-Sequence 45.4 (4.4.2001)
; Startup-Sequence for AmigaOS 3.9

; The following lines disable updating "scsi.device" for driver
; software where this could lead to failures. They also start
; IDEFix if installed.
;
; You can manually disable updating "scsi.device" by setting
; the environment variable "NOSCSIUPDATE" to something.

If EXISTS C:SquirrelSCSI
    C:SquirrelSCSI
EndIf

Set SCSIUpdate 1
If EXISTS C:IDEFix
    C:IDEFix
    Set SCSIUpdate 0
EndIf
If EXISTS SYS:Expansion/XSurfIDE
    Set SCSIUpdate 0
EndIf
If EXISTS SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/NOSCSIUPDATE
    Set SCSIUpdate 0
EndIf
If $SCSIUpdate EQ 1
    SetPatch QUIET
Else
    SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET
EndIf
Unset SCSIUpdate


then you shouldn't need to change anything. Just make sure that IDEfix is in C.
