hi zoltan, it seems you compiled your ide-drivers as modules. the kernel cries for a module servicing block devices with major number 3. these are for the first mfm, rll and ide hard disk/cd-rom interface (from kernel_sources/Documentation/devices.txt).
compile the ide-drivers into the kernel and you should be fine. happy hacking, uLI On Wed, Aug 08, 2001 at 05:57:05PM +0100 or thereabouts, Zoltan Nagy wrote: > Hi, > > I use the unstable distribution on a Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop.
