It may be that your SATA drive has moved from sda to hda. Trying changing it in your fstab and see if it works. (boot using the live CD and mount the drive, etc.)

Is there a magic option to get in a shell and check with genkernel made kernels for the correct device node? Or a udev initramfs with just a prompt available? It's always frustrating to diagnose things like that, without being able to effectively pause and restart the kernel messages. Booting with a serial console is, I think, the preferred solution. One thing you could do is put in an IDE drive and put a basic root partition on it -- at least enough to boot into a recovery shell. Then you can look around at dmesg, etc. It's not elegant, but it's an idea. Dustin -- [email protected] mailing list -- [email protected] mailing list
