The current root device is /dev/hde5.
# lsmod | grep ata
sata_via 8772 0
libata 46088 1 sata_via
scsi_mod 140096 1 libata
In my monolithic kernel config I had:
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VIA=y
Is there something missing for compiled-in SATA support?
I tried to boot this kernel also with root=/dev/sda5 but the kernel
gives the same error. I also don't remember to see something about SATA
scroll by (maybe I missed it)
