Yes, turn the whole Pata section off. After that, everything should be |
11 |
recognizable with "sd" rather than "hd" device names, in both Grub and |
12 |
/etc/fstab. Also, to save yourself trouble, build the drivers for the |
13 |
Sata subsystem and your particular controller chipset into the kernel, |
14 |
and forget about initrd's. The only thing they're good for is distros |
15 |
that have to run on whatever they're booting up on. The minute you have |
16 |
to compile your own kernel to suit yourself, you might as well get rid |
17 |
of the hassle of initrd's while you're at it. |
