I am running Sarge, linux 2.4.27, and grub with a NEC cdrom. I have run into what seems to be a common problem, but can find no pointer to the solution. How can I tell the kernel that I want "/dev/hdc=ide-scsi"? Or, better yet, can I upgrade from 2.4 to a fairly late 2.6 without installing the distro again? If so, how? Sam
