I recently installed some shiny new SATA drives, and haven't been able to boot into BDI since -- the 2.6.16.20-rtai kernel seems not to recognize them.
I recently added a SATA drive to my desktop/dev system over christmas and it appeared as /dev/sda*. Must admit, the boot partition is still on an IDE drive - Another box that uses all SCSI drives boots OK, so based on the assumption that SATA emulates SCSI, I would have expected the current BDI-4 kernel to work.
Any idea how I could fix that? I can boot slax with a 2.6.16 kernel, or bdi 4.51 anaconda, and those both give me access to the BDI partition on the new drive.
A couple of questions - Was this a fresh install with grub being installed in the MBR or was it copied over from an IDE partition wholesale ? MoBo specs and chipset ? (The JMicron chipset needs 2.6.18 or later to work properly, although I don't think that is an issue here.) Regards, Paul.
