I had a try with the 2.6.20.4 kernel and the same settings and a liilt
bit of :
make oldconfig
But I don't know how to setup LILO to boot either with the "old" kernel
and HDA or with the "new" kernel and SDA and how to deal with the fstab
problem !
SDA or HDA that is the question !
Is there a mean/trick to have a sort of "equivalence" between /dev/sda
and /dev/hda or a parameter to say : please see "SDA" as "HDA" !
