Heylas again, So, I have a working machine again, after copying a kernel over from a working machine, verifying it, and generating a new hash (I have a whole long saga of investigation, but I'll spare you).
Can anyone suggest why a machine, with no activity but ssh logins and then a syspatch of patches 2-3 on 6.8 would spontaneously start considering the SATA disks in the machine (which were previously loaded as sd0-sd2) as IDE (wd0-wd2)? This seems to have happened (it's the lasting "scar" from my machine borkage, I guess). Seems a bit weird, though. Amy! -- Amelia A.
