Hi Volker, |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Remember, the system is running fine with 2.6.25 and doesn't boot with |
| 43 |
2.6.27. /etc/fstab is a constant isn't changing. Therefore I can |
| 44 |
say with certainty that it's not the change from ide/hdX to sata/sdX. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
If I recall, I encountered the same boot issue back when I only had an |
| 47 |
IDE drive and attempted to use 2.6.26. At that time I wasn't |
| 48 |
concerned, so didn't attempt to determine what was wrong. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
As additional info, I've replace my .config with |
| 51 |
arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig and have the same problem. |
| 52 |

Cheers! |
