Nope... it as long as I can read the signs, the IDE device was found, so the problem seems to be that the e2sf (second extended file system) was either left aside or created as a module during the krenel creation... Run make menuconfig again and check this out in the ¨filesystems¨ part... the second extended filesystem MUST be created as part of the kernel (otherwise, how would the kernel open the e2fs filesystem to read the modules? ;-) Guilherme Zahn
