That did the trick for me as well. Thank you very much. I have another Suspend question though. I am running KDE 3.5.7 and I was wondering if anyone knew how to add a Suspend option to the KDE logout menu? Thanks for the help, James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Suspend questions
List Members - I have trying to set up Suspend on my Dell Latitude D620 laptop. The laptop is currently running a 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 kernel. I emerged the suspend2 sources, copied the .config from the 2.6.19 directory and ran make oldconfig. I then configured the suspend options in the kernel via the docs in the wiki. When I try to boot the suspend kernel, the system fails to boot because it can't find any of the filesystems located in my /etc/fstab. The reason for that is because the suspend kernel is configuring my hard disk as /dev/hda and my standard kernel is configuring it as /dev/sda. Does anyone know how I can get the suspend kernel to assign my hard disk as /dev/sda? Thanks, James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Does anyone know how I can get the suspend kernel to assign my hard disk as /dev/sda? My guess is that the kernel moved from recognising the drive as a PATA to a SATA. If you're committed to using this new kernel, just boot into your new kernel in single mode, change fstab to point to sda and then reboot. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Does anyone know how I can get the suspend kernel to assign my hard disk as /dev/sda? I think eventually you would have run into this problem even if you hadn't switched to using suspend2-sources. Recent changes in the kernel (at 2.6.21 unless my memory fails me) removed the need for most SATA drivers to use the SCSI layer of the kernel. The result being that many hard drives that were previously addressed as /dev/sda will now be available at /dev/hda. You'll need to change at least /boot/grub/grub.conf and /etc/fstab to reflect this . Yes, it's a pest because it complicates booting into older kernels. You may not know that GRUB supports editing the boot parameters with the 'E' key, which goes a long way towards easing the pains. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Does anyone know how I can get the suspend kernel to assign my hard disk as /dev/sda? I had this problem when I upgraded my kernel a month ago or so. I believe it occurred because the standard ATA driver grew support for my SATA hardware. It was unfortunately probing before the SATA driver and grabbing the device. The best solution I found was to add the following to the boot line in grub: hda=noprobe hda=none Hope that helps. James - Ben -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I think its preferable to get the SATA driver to handle the device if you can. I know on my machine disk performance dropped quite a bit when it was probed as hda by the ATA driver. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
