Dear Friends,<BR>
<BR>
Progress in understanding the issue but no solution -<BR>
<BR>
after proper install of kernel 2.6.22 and initrd, the kernel cannot find /dev/root. <BR>
googled that for some reason the new libata calls sdx hdx - okay <BR>
<BR>
I did:<BR>
<BR>
edit lilo to append to the .22 entry root=/dev/hda4<BR>
<BR>
now, the system booted, but since the kernel saw the dev as hda, dma was enabled, and so on, meaning that the hdd was slow, as in langsam or noch langsamer.<BR>
<BR>
cat /proc/scsi/scsi revealed only the dvd device was scsi.<BR>
<BR>
Now, I need to have the kernel direct read my sata drive - as in my mission critical grml, d h<BR>
<BR>
yazdzik@grmllap1 ~ % cat /proc/scsi/scsi <BR>
Attached devices:<BR>
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00<BR>
Vendor: ATA Model: HTS726060M9AT00 Rev: MH4O<BR>
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05<BR>
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00<BR>
Vendor: _NEC Model: DVD+-RW ND-6500A Rev: 203D<BR>
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
So, is there a way to force lilo or the new kernel to recognise this and work normally?<BR>
<BR>
Any kernel gurus on the list?<BR>
<BR>
Or am just being plain stupid?<BR>
<BR>
MfG,<BR>
