Rodney,

I'm curious, what did you try? Did you try the 'append' statement in LILO?

My ability is just the opposite of yours - I'm a complete idiot and have to read everything before trying something. When I added the append statement, Linux magically recognized the second card, and it even worked. Go figure.
