Wow, it's a long time since I had a 5.25" hard drive (in the 80's). The
connectors are the same on both, the only difference is that the 3.5" is
smaller, but that can be fixed with different 3.5->5.25 brackets, all my hard
drives (3.5") are connected on 5.25" places.

If you mixed up the sizes and mean you have a 3.5" hard drive that you need to
connect to a 2.5" IDE connector (those differ, as the 2.5" has 4 extra pins
for power), there are adapters for 3.5->2.5, if you can't find any you can
take a look at www.ggsdata.se

You have both FC and Ubuntu at the same time installed on the machine?
This can lead to troubles if they both uses LABEL (FC does), having two slices
named the same will lead to confusion.

Oooops... Sorry! I meant hdd 3.5'' and 2.5'' :)

Now I'm using a different HD for Ubuntu, free and without partitions.
The problem is that Ubuntu Live CD should starts before doing
installation...and when it's started up then you can choose to install
it. I'm not able to have ubuntu desktop because live cd freezes during
boot.
I tried to install ubuntu on 3.5'' hd as primary master (so 1 hdd as
primary master and 1 cdrom as primary slave and no devices on secondary
ide) and all worked good. Then I cloned the 3.5'' to 2.5'' and mounted
it as master on secondary. Ubuntu boot process freezes like as live cd
during "Running scripts casper -premount".

Yes, of course.

What if you have a primary-master HD connected while you install ubuntu on the
secondary-master ?

Could be that it has trouble with your IDE, are they both 2.5" connectors
(primary and secondary IDE)?

We need to use conventional language so that all can understand.
e.g.

primary on IDE-1 (The IDE device connected to the first IDE port that
is jumpered as "Master")
slave on IDE-1 (The IDE device connected to the first IDE port that
is jumpered as "Slave")

primary on IDE-2 (The IDE device connected to the second IDE port that
is jumpered as "Master")
slave on IDE-2 (The IDE device connected to the second IDE port that
is jumpered as "Slave")
etc.

or something like this:

primary HDD on IDE-1 (The IDE hard drive connected to the first IDE
port that is jumpered as "Master")
slave CDROM on IDE-1 (The IDE CDROM connected to the first IDE port
that is jumpered as "Slave")

primary CDROM on IDE-2 (The IDE CDROM connected to the second IDE port
that is jumpered as "Master")
slave HDD on IDE-2 (The IDE hard drive connected to the second IDE
port that is jumpered as "Slave")

etc.

OP's description using the terms "master", "slave" "primary IDE" and
"secondary IDE" are conventional language and completely understandable to
everyone else in the thread, if not you.
