I've recently had those problems also on a Dell server, using SATA too. The fine guys from #gpul helped me a lot on this. Basically, what happened to me is that kernel 2.4 mapped the SATA drive as /dev/hdc and kernel 2.6 mapped it to /dev/sda So I booted using the installer with the linux26 option, followed the installation until the HD partitioning screen, jotted down the hard disk device (/dev/sda), switched to console 2 and mounted the partition. Then I changed /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst acordingly. Everything worked fine when I rebooted. That's what I did on the same symptoms and worked for me. -- temp: http://temp.roncero.org Out: 17.69 ēC -- In: 19.38 ēC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
