Package: linux-image-2.6.21-2-k7 Version: 2.6.21-5 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Dear Kernel-maintainers, Today I tried to boot the new-in-testing linux-image-2.6.21-2-k7. Before that I always booted linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7. Unfortunately the boot process did not succeed, instead the following error message appeared: Begin: Mounting root file system... ... Begin: Running /scripts/localo-top ... ide0: I/O resource 0x3F6-0x3F6 not free. ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe ide1: I/O resource 0x376-0x376 not free. ide1: ports already in use, skipping probe Done. Begin: Waiting for root file system... ... >From this point on, the harddisc was active, but the boot process did not >continue. I found out that all I had to do was changing 'hda' into 'sda' in /etc/fstab and on the grub command line to boot this kernel. Strangely the device names for my harddisc partitions seem to have changed from /dev/hda* to /dev/sda* during the kernel transition. I consider this strange, because my machine has no SATA harddisc or similar (AFAICT), but only an ordinary IDE harddisc.
