Hi folks,
I been putting this off but it looks like the newer kernels are going to
push me to changing this real soon. I have a older system, Abit NF7 2.0
motherboard with the older IDE drives. I'm still using the older IDE
drivers. This is what I have currently:
hda Actual hard drive OS on this
hdb Actual hard drive Not in use
hdc Actual hard drive home partition
hdd DVD burner Duh! It's a burner.
sda Actual hard drive connected through a SATA PCI card. Misc stuff.
So, hda has the Gentoo OS on it and hdc is my /hone directory. I have
videos, mp3's and various other data on sda. Currently hdb is not
being used, since for those who keep up with my threads would know, it
is the one that is terribly slow. Something along the lines of
10Mbs/sec or something of that nature. It's just hard to get out of
the case right now and I can't get to it with a hammer either. :/
My theory is something like this: hda will become sda; hdb will become
sdb; hdc will become sdc; hdd will become sdd; and sda will become
sde. Would that be a logical expectation? Anybody see anything that
may cause a hiccup on this change? I know I have to update fstab before
rebooting. I may also have a sledge hammer or a really big shotgun
close by, just in case it gets any bad ideas like messing up /home. ;-)
I'm currently using this:
AMD and nVidia IDE support
This would be the new, possibly improved, version of things:
AMD/NVidia PATA support
Correct?
I'm just wanting to cover a few bases and make sure I am on the right
track and understand things before I blow up something.
Thanks.
Dale
