Linux booting from HD on Promise Ultra ATA 100

I'm having difficulty booting from the Promise controller. Here is the
story:

I originally had my system setup with all drives working off the
mainsboard IDE controller (Intel 82371AB PIIX4). The setup was

/dev/hda - ST310232A, FwRev=3.09  (Seagate)
/dev/hdb - 927308, FwRev=RA530JNO (Maxtor) * Linux installed here
/dev/hdc - CD-532E-B (Teach CDROM)
/dev/hdd - CD-RW4224A (Smart & Friendly CDRW).

Well I got an Promise Ultra ATA 100 controller card. Went over to
linux-ide.org and get the patches for kernel-2.2.16. Took a pristine
kernel-2.2.16 and patched it and then compiled it on a RedHat 6.2
system. I then made a bootdisk with this new kernel.

So then I installed the drives in this order:

(Mainsboard controller)
primary master - ST310232A (Seagate)
primary slave - none
secondary master - CDROM
secondary slave - CDRW

(Promise controller)
primary slave - IBM-DLTA-307045 (IBM)
primary slave - 927308 (Maxtor) * Linux install here
secondary master - none
secondary slave - none

The system boots if I use the bootdisk and tell it "linux
root=/dev/hdf3".  I edited the lilo.conf and the fstab for the new
setup. I can log in and do my business with my the linux partition but
when I tried to use lilo to setup the MBR on the first disk (mainsboard) I
got this:

warning: BIOS Drive 0x82 may not be accessible.

Is there some settings that I need to give to the lilo to boot?
