I installed a very large harddrive today and now everytime I boot I am dropping to a kernel prompt. I have figured out that I need to modprobe sata_via exit It all boots OK but the modprobe takes a huge amount of time. Is there a step that I have not done in setting this up? Is there a quick fix to stop it dropping to the command prompt?
Perhaps you need to rebuild your initrd? Try reinstalling the running kernel, which should regenerate initrd. Or you can regenerate an initrd from the command line, but I can never remember the exact command, I think the bin is called mkinitramfs -- http://chesterton.id.au/blog/ http://barrang.com.au/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
