Writing in to give more details - I do have the |
| 11 |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_ATA100FIRST set in the kernel, and hda is still |
| 12 |
showing up as hda. I also do not see any lines in the boot reporting |
| 13 |
that the hard drive has been detected (though they scroll by pretty |
| 14 |
quickly and it's hard to tell - is there a way to see what the dmesg was |
| 15 |
for a kernel that didn't finish booting due to a kernel panic?) The |
| 16 |
panic is the famous "Cannot open root device "hda8" or |
| 17 |
unknown-block(0,0)". Well, the cdrom doesn't have an hda8 of course, so |
| 18 |
this isn't surprising. What I'm attempting to discover is what I am |
| 19 |
missing in the kernel config to get my hard drive correctly supported. |

Further suggestions? |
