RE: Kernel 2.6.8.1
Hello Eric,
Thnx...the result is in the line of your answer!
I saw something about sda and sdb (i have 2 drives) just before that
error.
But do i also have to change my fstab file ?
And if i change my fstab file, i will not be able to startup with a
previous configuration ?
Do you have an grub example ?
Thnx alot!
Philippe

The 2.6.8 kernel uses libata for SATA drives which means you need SCSI,
libata, and a SATA driver compiled in as well.
You will also need to change hda to sda in grub because it's now going
to be seen as a SCSI device at boot time.
