Greetings,

Please, use debian-user next time.

Sorry, rethinking, it's clear it should be on -user.  Will do next time.

VFS: Cannot open root device "301" or 03:01
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01

This new kernel might be loading a hpt366 driver *and* the onboard IDE
driver, therefore, if your hard drive is on a ata66 channel, it will
show up as hde.

Indeed, I have disks on both controllers, so I'm pretty sure it's loading both drivers.

But I don't believe it's confusing the two and having the PIIX4 show up as hde-h and the HPT366 as hda-d. I remember seeing something in the boot messages that led me to believe it was detecting the drives as hda,b,c,d,f,g as usual, but can't remember for sure. Also, it doesn't make sense to me that this part of the detection would work with Debian kernel-source, but not with stock Linux nor with IDE-patched Linux.

I'll try to check this tomorrow morning.

Gerhard, thanks for letting me know it works for you.

Cheers,
