1) kernel-2.4.2-i586.config (2.4.2-18mdk) : CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD=y
2) kernel-2.2.18-i586-up.config : # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD is not set
They should both be the same.
The result of 1) is that what were /dev/hd{e,f,g,h} are now /dev/hd{a,b,c,d}.
So I have to create device files and hack /etc/fstab - I can't be doing that
every time I want to change kernels, so I'll have to rebuild one of them.
I like to use the stock Mandrake kernels in Cooker, if possible, so this is
important to me. I have 4 drives on a Promise DMA100 controller and one SCSI
drive. I only noticed this since reorganising my partitions to boot from IDE
instead of SCSI. Cooker boots from hd{f,b}5 with root partition on sda11.
