I cannot get linux to boot from my HDD, which comes up as
hde.
I altered the entries in my fstab when I upgraded my
computer.
The reason I have it on the 3rd ide channel, is that my old
486 had no problems with drives > 2.1M, but my (second-hand) pentium does. I
have an old western digital 32 bit ide card kicking around, so I put that in,
and bios doesn't hang when I boot.
Linux gets up to loading the root filesystem, then cant and
halts.
I know that Linux can read the harddisk (well it works in
DOS/WIndows :-( [I wouldn't mind it not working in win85 as long as it worked in
Linux]) because when I booted off the rescue disk to change the fstab entries, I
had to mount it and it worked.
Anyone got any ideas?
I will be really grateful for any
help
Frankie
