That's cool -- you're having exactly the same problem I was. hda1 doesn't mount because after udev gets through setting up /dev, hda no longer exists. I fixed it here by disabling udev -- it isn't at all necessary. I did that by editing /etc/init.c/udev and adding the line "return" (should have been "exit 0") at the top of the script (to verify that it was indeed udev with the problem), then disabling it as a boot script. > Is there something that I can turn on in order to capture the bootup > messages?

I was seeing lots of "discussion" of ide and hda scroll by; then it didn't exist in /dev or in /sys after the system was up. > If there is a definitive UDEV HOWTO then, please, point me to it.

I'm betting that nobody booting from SCSI and with an hda ever tested it. -- Glenn English ghe@slsware.com GPG ID: D0D7FF20
