Update: I managed to SUCCESSFULLY boot up the IDE LFS Linux 2.6.25.4 drive on
my new SATA machine.
Many thanks to Phill Upson, cx8508 and Mr. Beekmans.
Also thanks to the cast of thousands who rooted for me all along.
There are of course a lot of things still left for me to work on (clean up,

The issue here is about different hardware ... in fact its about the kernel
being able to identify hardware load the necessary modules for it for each
boot ... and
Case closed.
Glad to hear you got it resolved. Yes we're always interested in knowing
what exactly did it if you are able to narrow it down some day.
Take care,

Alex,
Just a thought (while we're at it): how come a lousy 2.4.2 rescue floppy can
get to my IDE drives (read/write) without my using any special HDD driver
machinations?
This may not be *the* answer to your problem, but just some notes to
consider for future reference.

Thank you very much.

I'm trying to move an IDE LFS drive from an older PATA computer to a new

Hi there,
I think you are missing the driver for your hard disk controller in the
kernel (or as a module to be loaded by initrd). Try booting from a
livecd again and look at the output of lspci and lsmod, try to work out
which module is your disk controller, then recompile your lfs kernel to
