Trap E in OS2LVM with SATA and IDE Drives - RC4

I'm installing RC4 on a Gigabyte P35-S3G with intel Core2 Duo and 2 Gig of
ram. As this machine only has 1 IDE connector I've converted one of my drives
to SATA. Now my problem is that whenever I attach an IDE drive with LVM
information to the IDE channel I get a Trap E in OS2LVM during boot. 

As an experiment I attached a non-lvm disk to the IDE channel and no trap
occurs. 

Any ideas? 

TIA,

Eric,

Maybe a little more information will help.

One IDE (PATA) controller means two IDE (PATA) devices. If I understand 
you correctley you have at least one IDE (PATA) HD on your IDE (PATA) 
controller. Is this the only device or is there a second device 
connected to the controller. For instance a cd- dvdr(w) device?

If so are the master/slave jumpersettings on both devices correctly set?

How is the bootorder set in the bios? Do you boot from SATA or PATA?

In my system I have both PATA and SATA devices, I boot from PATA and I 
do not have any problem with Logical volumes, actually all volumes are 
formatted with JFS and besides the system partition I do have two other 
partitions for eCs.

I did experiment with SATA as first bootalbe device and trying to 
install windows on the PATA disk, after the first fase eveything was a 
complete mess because windows saw the PATA as the first disk and not the 
SATA so windows was looking in the wrong place for it's bootpartition. 
It can be, that when you have SATA as the first bootdisk and you try to 
install eCs on the PATA disk you experiance the same problem here, and 
that can explain the trap.
