upgrading i386 kernel on AMD64
Hi,
I have installed Debian-i386 and Debian-amd64 on a new machine. For the i386
install I used a sarge snapshot from July, which worked great. Only this
installed a 2.6.6 kernel, which I'd like to update to 2.6.8. On the AMD64
installation, I simply installed new debian kernel-images and everything is
fine. when I try the same on the i386 install, however, those new kernels do
not boot, I tried 2.6.8-1-386, 2.6.8-1-k7, 2.4.26-1-386, and even a self
compiled 2.6.8 starting with the (working) 2.6.6 config.
The problem is, the kernel does not find the root filesystem, since it does
not detect the harddisk. This box (ASUS K8V mainboard) has one SATA disk
connected to the VIA VT8237 RAID controller, the Promise 20376 is not used,
the IDE controller is only used for the DVD. The i386 install kernel sees
the SATA disk fine, and detects it as hde. The AMD64 kernels sees the disk
as sda. All newer i386 kernels, the ones provided by debian, as well as
self-built, do not see the SATA disk at all, and I wonder why, and how to
fix this.

SATA in the install kernel (ie disk is detected as hde):
cts@vreneli:/boot>grep SATA config-2.6.6-1-386
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SVW=m

SATA in the self-built kernel, no initrd, disk not detected, also when

SATA in Debian kernel, initrd, disk not detected:

It would be great if somebody could explain, what I am doing wrong, and why
the disk is ide on i386 (IDE_SATA?), and sda on AMD64.
Thanks,
Christian
