| 46 |
but you said you went from ide to sata. So you have to change your fstab. |

because now lots and lots of stuff is missing. |

Really, generate a config with all the stuff that is needed built into the |
| 55 |
kernel. Don't use genkernel, don't use an initrd. Load whatever you need but |
| 56 |
is not necessary for a boot with modules autoload. It is easier and much less |
| 57 |
error prone. |
