Hi,

We have converted a very old fedora 5 server to run on oVirt. However, 
since the Fedora 5 does not have virtio drivers, or virtio-scsi drivers, 
the disks are connected to virtual IDE interface. The problem here is on 
a single IDE interface, we cannot connect more than 2 disks. But the old 
converted server had 4 disks on 2 IDE controllers.

First question is can we add one more virtual IDE Controller to the VM? 
If yes, please share the procedure. Or whether any one can share the 
proper virtio or virtio scsi for fedora 5 OS drivers so that we can get 
other two inactive disks working.

Unfortunately we cannot upgrade from Fedora 5 at the moment.

Await your inputs.

Thanks & Regards,

Anantha Raghava
