Hi,
I have a t42p and I'm trying to make the switch to the ata_piix drivers
by following the instructions:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_and_use_libata_SATA_/_PATA_drivers
I have:
* recompiled the kernel (2.6.22)
* changed /etc/fstab to use labels
* changed /boot/grub/menu.lst and switched /dev/hda1 to /dev/sda1 for
this kernel. It reads:
root=/dev/sda1 ro acpi_sleep=s3_bios atapi_enabled=1
When I reboot, I get a kernel panic:
cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
(or something very similar). somebody in IRC suggested the problem might
be the T42p chipset might not be supported.
Does anybody have any ideas, or a working setup with this drivers and a
t42p?
Thanks!
Carlos
