I have suse10 installed.
onboard disk controller: ASRock CK8s (v2.5)
IDE controller: Promise Ultra 133TX2 (I read elsewhere that GRUB is known to have problems with some Promise controllers)
Currently I have 1 drive at each controller. They were already attached before installing linux.
If I try to attach a new drive, no matter where I get error22 at stage 1.5
according to the grub manual *cannot post url until I have 5 posts*

Errors Reported by the Stage 1.5
The general way that the Stage 1.5 handles errors is to print an error number in the form "Error: " and then halt. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del will reboot.
The error numbers correspond to the Errors Reported by the Stage 2 in the listed sequence.

Error 22 : No such partition
This error is returned if a partition is requested in the device part of a device- or full file name which isn't on the selected disk.

Jumpers are set to CS.
The drive is correctly recogniced by the BIOS.
If I boot from the suse install dvd with a new drive attatched I can only boot with the 'rescue system' option.
Then 'fdisk -l' shows the drive correctly.
Since the word 'multibooting' showed up in the error report - taking a wild guess here. I still have winxp on hda. But I would not mind removing it from the bootmanager and accessing it with a start disk.
---edit---
corrected error message to avoid confusion.
