Now I've got the SCSI subsystem up and running... But still pivot_root error and panic. Disklayout as of today: hda = PATA HDD hdb = PATA HDD hdc = PATA HDD hdd = PATA DVD hde = SATA HDD hdg = SATA HDD Important /etc/fstab-entries: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdg1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hdg3 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hdg9 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hdg8 /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hdg6 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hdg7 /var ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hdg5 none swap sw 0 0 I believe it's something to do with the root= entry in menu.lst. My menu.lst entry for 2.6.7 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.7 root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.7 root=/dev/hdg1 ro initrd /initrd.img-2.6.7 savedefault boot My menu.lst entry for 2.6.8 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-3-amd64-k8 root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-3-amd64-k8 root=/dev/sdb1 ro initrd /initrd.img-2.6.8-3-amd64-k8 savedefault boot I've remade the initrd, with sata_via in /etc/mkinitrd/modules My current situation makes me suspect that I'm pointing to the wrong device in menu.lst (root=) I do have 8 USB ports which at a later stage uses /dev/sdXX a device-names, in 2.6.7. Help, I _really_ need it now. -- .O. Scream, Scream like the silence of the bits. ..O Dead lies the flag by the feet of the cold one. OOO Freedom WILL break the walls of mammon.
