and a CDROM, that are recognized as /dev/sda , /dev/hda respectively. the |

/dev/hda would not work, it complains that the /dev/hda is not a block |
| 54 |
device.... |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
well, if that's exactly what your problem is, try these: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
>> change your BIOS settings, make your ide devices displays at the top of |
| 59 |
you device >> list, that is, your CDROMs shows before your hard disk.., or |
| 60 |
do the reverse.. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
>> or try to add a kernel options in your grub.conf. something like this: |
| 63 |
>> kernel (hd0,6)/kernel-2.6.13-gentoo-r13 irqpoll root=/dev/sda9 |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
can't remember all details now, hope that helps.. good luck.. |
