SATA Drives nameings...

[Twinkle]

Hi..

I have 2 sata drives one running xp and the other debian ..

my fstab have them as follows..

/dev/hdg1 <--- debian drive
/dev/hdg5 swap drive
/dev/hdb CDROM0
/dev/hdc CDROM1
/dev/fd0 floppy0


am running sarge kernel 2.4.27

I have just compiled kernel 2.6.17.8 and now facing the Kernel panic due to defvs...

My question is shoulds SATA drives be name sdx ...? not hdx?

Thanx

Seems my speculations where in place..

With the new Kernel 2.6 a Sata enabled driver called lib something was taking care of sata drives which names my drives the proper way sdx ..

So I edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and changed hdg1 to sdb1 (when the kernel was booting I saw it named it sdb1)

and then edit /etc/fstab and changed the naming of the main drive and swap partition ..

and now am Kernel panic free (at least for the moment) and am in Kernel 2.6.17.8 ...
