KH, if you have changed the kernel to use libATA (i.e. the newer |
| 13 |
SATA/PATA options) then you need to update your fstab from /dev/hdaX |
| 14 |
to /dev/sdaX and change your grub.conf accordingly. |

PS. When you install GRUB use tab completion to see what's available |
| 17 |
and make sure you install it in the correct drive/partition. |

PPS. Peter, I installed the kernel option for [*] ATA SFF support and |
| 20 |
corresponding chipset (ICH) for my P4 and it now boots fine. So I |
| 21 |
suggest that you use lshw to find which chipset you must activate |
| 22 |
under ATA SFF (unless you have one of the more modern <*> AHCI SATA |
| 23 |
support controllers like I have on my i7 Dell). |
