Comments about 2.4 are either irrelevant or mistaken (i.e. you meant '2.6'). For current 2.6, parrallel libata uses /dev/sd? to refer to IDE drives. It's also not yet recommended for production - I'm not suggesting you should drop it (people do need to test new developments), but if you think you _have_to_ refer to IDE drives as /dev/sd? to get them working properly, you probably have very obscure, or extremely new, hardware ? Most people can get IDE drives working ok as /dev/hd? at the moment. Please try _not_ using parrallel libata in your kernel config (and refer to /dev/hda in /etc/fstab) to get something that works. After that, you can play with parrallel libata if you wish (although the dynamic selection of device names in /etc/fstab will be 'interesting", which is why fedora mounts by label). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
