Then at boot time, edit grub so that root=/dev/sda1 I know 2.4 shows the drive as hda but 2.6 will see it as sda because this is how libata works.Almost give up...I did exactly what this lists suggest...(recompile with sata modules, edit grub, and add entry in /etc/mkinitrd/modules) but it's still produce same error when booting the new kernel.Is there any clue...?The initrd-tools package is a bit problematic these days. How about just compiling the filesystem stuff directly into the kernel and not using a ramdisk. This will surely fix things providing you've got everything you need compiled into the kernel. If you have any doubts what should be compiled in just add everything from the loadmodules files on both 2.4 and 2.6. I would also make sure the SCSI stuff and SATA stuff is in there as well. You could always fine tune things once you get it booted and can actually see what your using. Before you try this "long" approach, you may want to list every module from the 2.4 loadmodules file in /etc/mkinitrd/modules and reproduce the initrd. Try booting that and see what happens. You are obviously missing a module somewhere and it's just a matter of finding out which one. Don't give up now. This whole experience will strengthen your knowledge.
I'm suspicions in .config file that i copied from Suse-9.1 /proc/config.gzThe fastest solution that i do now, is install kernel image from source list.
