1 It may be that your SATA drive has moved from sda to hda. Trying changing it
2 in your fstab and see if it works. (boot using the live CD and mount the
3 drive, etc.)

23 It's always frustrating to diagnose things like that, without being able to
24 effectively pause and restart the kernel messages. Booting with a serial
25 console is, I think, the preferred solution.

27 One thing you could do is put in an IDE drive and put a basic root partition
28 on it -- at least enough to boot into a recovery shell. Then you can look
29 around at dmesg, etc.

31 It's not elegant, but it's an idea.
