Have you configured 'initrd' (modules to load before any other package) to load all the ide stuff? Just pointing at it in syslinux.cfg won't do the whole job. The floppy drive errors may be another issue entirely.

Subject: [leaf-user] Bering on an IDE Hard drive

Can anyone help??

I have being trying to get a (fully working) Bering sytem from floppy to an
IDE hard drive. I have based my efforts on Charles Steinkuehler's How-to for
Dachstein. All goes well (Linux boots ok) until LINUXRC tries to load the
packages. Although syslinux.cfg points to /dev/hda1 for both boot and
packages, LINUXRC tries to open the floppy, fails and kills init
(successfully, the PC is then completely dead). with a Bering floppy in the
drive it still fails after not finding the modules.

Last message before rigor-mortis is:

LINUXRC: Bering - Initrd - V1.2
end_request; I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 0
end_request; I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 0
end_request; I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 0
LINUXRC: Could not mount the boot device. Can't install packages.
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Would appreciate if anyone else has a similar experience, or even better - a
fix.
