Hello,
First of all...thnx for the help! My sata configuration is now ...almost...booting! :) I added drivers in kernel configuration, i'm using debian sarge on a new DELL 470 XEON with sata disks. I changed my grub configuration also but when i boot now, i have errors because the system can 't find the right partitions. Now, eric mentioned that i don't need to change the fstab file but as it is now, the system can 't find the partitions because *i think* the sata is seen as scsi ?? Help is much appreciated! Cheers! Philippe So, my system is booting but at a point i get: Checking all file system... Fsck 1.35 !28-Feb-2004) Fsck.ext: No such device or adress while trying to open /dev/hde1 Possibly non-existent or swap device ?

CONTROL-D will exit from this shell and contineu system startup. Below here my dmesg where you can see that libata, sata etc... Is loaded so i don't think that there are any problems with that.

What I did was edit the grub entry at boot and simply change the device from hdx to sdx. Once the box boots up, df shows hdx again. These boxes are servers and do a lot of work. I never had a problem. Now that you mention it though, I'm wondering if I changed fstab, df would show sdx... I would just boot without changing fstab and see how that goes. It's the safest step. Just make sure you have libata, SCSI, and whatever SATA driver you need compiled in. -- Eric Gaumer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Disclaimer : This e-mail is intended for the exclusive use by the person(s) mentioned as recipient(s).
