Actually, I'm only having problems when my "/" (root) file system is
on the SATA disk. No problems if my root FS is on the PATA or if I
boot from a Live CD.
Actually, what I did was I put one of my PATA hard disks in a SATA
port using a SATA-to-PATA converter because I need IDE connectors for
other stuff. Then I just replaced "/dev/hdcX" with "/dev/sdaX" on both
/etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst. (The OS sees the *SATA* hard disk
as /dev/sda when I boot from a Live CD or from PATA ("/" on PATA).)
What is this setting in the BIOS that I need to adjust anyway? My
motherboard is an Epox 8RDA+Pro (nForce2).
