Have you tried root=/dev/sda7, i.e. "s" rather than "h", in lilo? My |
| 28 |
understanding is that disk driver changes in the kernel have resulted |
| 29 |
in the replacement of IDE subsystem drivers with a "universal" (SCSI |
| 30 |
based) subsystem. A side effect of this is device name changes, |
| 31 |
notably /dev/hdX to /dev/sdX. I'm not sure that this is 100% accurate |
| 32 |
because I don't track kernel changes as closely as some folks. |
