hde? Your primary hard-disk (hda) was recognized, but hde refer to some
secondary/slave IDE peripheral. A cdrom? No, I believe: your machine is
a old one.
A full Linux newsgroup needed :)
Maybe a LILO boot prompt options will work:
reserve=iobase,extent[,iobase,extent]

In some machines it may be necessary to prevent device drivers from
checking for devices (auto-probing) in a specific region. This may be
because of poorly designed hardware that causes the boot to freeze
(such as some ethercards), hardware that is mistakenly identified,
hardware whose state is changed by an earlier probe, or merely
hardware you don't want the kernel to initialize.
The reserve boot-time argument addresses this problem by specifying an
I/O port region that shouldn't be probed. That region is reserved in
the kernel's port registration table as if a device has already been
found in that region (with the name reserved). Note that this
mechanism shouldn't be necessary on most machines. Only when there is
a problem or special case would it be necessary to use this.

Can you, KarlHeinz, using msd (Microsoft Diagnostic) check what iobase
suit your hardware?

A german boy who don't speak english, oh god :)
There is another KarlHeinz who want to interface with KHK?
