Well, I currently have a system with both a PATA drive as well as a SATA drive. SATA uses the whole SCSI subsystem which tends to cause things to not always be in the same place from time to time, devicewise, especially when you have USB mass storage peripherals elsewhere (like my memcard reader). I ended up labelling my partitions/filesystems when I created them so when my system boots, it finds what's where and then things get mounted that way (much cleaner). The only thing I didn't conquer was how to get the bootloader (lilo for me) to boot a label instead of a device so I ended up leaving a boot partition on my PATA disk to allow everything to start nicely and then go from there.
So, I guess from here, I too will ask my own question stemming from this one: How do I get a bootloader (lilo preferably for me) to boot a device which may not always be in the same place like a SCSI-ish disk? -Statux On Fri, 2006-08-04 at 06:18 +0200, Meino Christian Cramer wrote: > Hi, > > I will change my system from ATA to SATA. > Is there somethng special to consider for this in beforehand? > (...before I will not be able anymore to post to this list a > cry of help ... ;) :O) ))) > > Thank you very much in advance for any help! > mcc -- Statux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
