Do you have SATA drives or IDE? If you have IDE, try changing your |
33 |
fstab and grub line from sda5 to hda5. That error is caused by that |
34 |
pretty much every time. Keep in mind, it doesn't matter what the drive |
35 |
reports itself as when booted off the CD, it only matters how the kernel |
36 |
YOU built sees it. It can be set up to see it either way. I have IDE |
37 |
and mine still sees it as hda, hdb etc except for my SATA drive that is |
38 |
hooked up to a card. That one is sda. |

If you have SATA drives, I'm back to clueless but thinking on it. |
