I think eventually you would have run into this problem even if you hadn't |
| 8 |
switched to using suspend2-sources. Recent changes in the kernel (at 2.6.21 |
| 9 |
unless my memory fails me) removed the need for most SATA drivers to use the |
| 10 |
SCSI layer of the kernel. The result being that many hard drives that were |
| 11 |
previously addressed as /dev/sda will now be available at /dev/hda. |

You'll need to change at least /boot/grub/grub.conf and /etc/fstab to reflect |
| 14 |
this . Yes, it's a pest because it complicates booting into older kernels. |
| 15 |
You may not know that GRUB supports editing the boot parameters with the 'E' |
| 16 |
key, which goes a long way towards easing the pains. |
