Hi folks, |
2 |
|

I been putting this off but it looks like the newer kernels are going to |
4 |
push me to changing this real soon. I have a older system, Abit NF7 2.0 |
5 |
motherboard with the older IDE drives. I'm still using the older IDE |
6 |
drivers. This is what I have currently: |
7 |
|
8 |
hda Actual hard drive OS on this |
9 |
hdb Actual hard drive Not in use |
10 |
hdc Actual hard drive home partition |
11 |
hdd DVD burner Duh! It's a burner. |
12 |
sda Actual hard drive connected through a SATA PCI card. Misc stuff. |
13 |
|
14 |
|
15 |
So, hda has the Gentoo OS on it and hdc is my /hone directory. I have |
16 |
videos, mp3's and various other data on sda. Currently hdb is not |
17 |
being used, since for those who keep up with my threads would know, it |
18 |
is the one that is terribly slow. Something along the lines of |
19 |
10Mbs/sec or something of that nature. It's just hard to get out of |
20 |
the case right now and I can't get to it with a hammer either. :/ |
21 |
|
22 |
My theory is something like this: hda will become sda; hdb will become |
23 |
sdb; hdc will become sdc; hdd will become sdd; and sda will become |
24 |
sde. Would that be a logical expectation? Anybody see anything that |
25 |
may cause a hiccup on this change? I know I have to update fstab before |
26 |
rebooting. I may also have a sledge hammer or a really big shotgun |
27 |
close by, just in case it gets any bad ideas like messing up /home. ;-) |

I'm currently using this: |
30 |
|
31 |
AMD and nVidia IDE support |
32 |
|
33 |
This would be the new, possibly improved, version of things: |
34 |
|
35 |
AMD/NVidia PATA support |
36 |
|
37 |
Correct? |
38 |
|
39 |
I'm just wanting to cover a few bases and make sure I am on the right |
40 |
track and understand things before I blow up something. |

Thanks. |
