You're still using the deprecated ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL disk drivers. You |
| 20 |
should completely unselect that set of drivers and use the newer ones |
| 21 |
in Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers instead. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Doing that will cause all of your /dev/hd* to be renamed /dev/sd* |
| 24 |
including any cd/dvd drives. My /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/sr0, |
| 25 |
for example. The links are created automatically on the next reboot, |
| 26 |
but you'll need to edit /etc/fstab to reflect the new drive names |
| 27 |
before you reboot with the new kernel. |
