[lug] Reboot Problem

[Zan Lynx]

It might also be a bad IDE cable.  Especially if you are using those
fancy rounded cables, or if you have bent or folded a flat cable.  I
just recently had the disappearing drive problem in one of my systems,
and it was the cable.

It is very strange watching a Linux system when the hard drive suddenly
isn't available anymore.  It runs fine, as long as you never need to
save or load anything :-)
