Re: can't mount drive.
Thanks Rob, Loading the ide_disk module did it. I'm guessing that ide_core loaded with ide_disk, as I was able to mount the harddrive after running modprobe against ide_disk. My /etc/modules didn't have ide_disk listed either. Chris W. On December 19, 2004 11:04 pm, Rob wrote: > I had the same problem after an upgrade.

Re: can't mount drive.
I had the same problem after an upgrade. For me, it had to do with ide_disk and ide_core missing from /etc/modules. I made sure the correct modules were working, then I could mount the drive again. While that somewhat fixed the problem, my system still fails on boot up without intervention. It gives me a maintenance prompt upon trying to mount my IDE drive and failing--then I just enter the maintenance prompt, type 'mount /dev/hda1' and it works, then I continue the boot. Not sure what's going on with mine either. Thanks, Rob Chris Wakefield wrote: Greetings to all. I have an ide drive on my system that I can't mount for some reason.

can't mount drive.
