Dell Latitude C610
Hi all, I have a Dell Latitude C610 which I just installed sarge on, The problem is that Every time I try to boot my own kernels I get the error "Please append root option=..." Checking during the boot process it seems that the hard disks are not detected, so i presume that the IDE controller is not compiled in The problem is that I cannot find the IDE controller under the 2.6. kernel-menu, lspci states that the IDE controller is an "Intel Corp. 82801CAM IDE U100" but in the kernel-config the only Intel IDE controller is the "Intel PIIXn" which is already built into the kernel Any help appreciated, The IDE chipset is supported by Linux as the stock kernel boots just fine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

How would I do that in Grub? Besides Under the grub menu the root option is enabled (says "root=/dev/hda2 ro" which is the same as the stock 2.6.8 kernel) On Tue, 2005-01-04 at 13:05, Sharninder Khera wrote: > > I have a Dell Latitude C610 which I just installed sarge on, The problem > > is that Every time I try to boot my own kernels I get the error "Please > > append root option=..."
