Could the root device now be referred to as /dev/sda4 (SCSI Disk |
| 2 |
support) with the kernel now loading? |
| 3 |
You should be able to pass the root device to the kernel at boot time |
| 4 |
(root=/dev/sda4). |
| 5 |
If you are able to get past the root filesystem check (the disk is |
| 6 |
referred to as sda instead of hda), then you will need to update your / |
| 7 |
etc/fstab to reflect the different device names. |
