boots into a panic. Here's the last 5 lines:
[28.856347] ReiserFS: sda3: found reiserfs format
"3.6" with standard journal
[31.560835] ReiserFS: sda3: warning: sh-2029: reiserfs
read_bitmaps: bitmap bitlock(#14057372) reading failed
[31.663418] UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
[31.663466] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to
mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3)
[31.663493]
After dd'ing I compared both drives w/fdisk and they
were identical except for the device names, of course.
I *did* update fstab and grub.conf and ran
grub-install w/o error. Don't know why it was looking
for a UDF fs.
one thing I noticed though, the SATA drive is about 3M
smaller than the ATA.
