You could try a new kernel too of course to rule that out. Incidentally I had a similar problem with the 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.9 kernels last week. In my case it concerned a SCSI driver that wasn't working properly. Upgrading to 2.6.10 made it able to detect the partitions and mount them. When the kernel is loaded see if you can keep up with the scroll of text there. It may take a few reboots to figure it out all, since you can't always scroll up after a kernel panic so anything that scrolled away might be lost. When the IDE driver is loaded and it detects the harddrives, it will also show you the partitions that exist on it. Make sure it actually finds a harddrive. If it doesn't, you may have the wrong IDE driver after all. -- Gerard Beekmans /* If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem */ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
