Ok, just to make some closure here, I went to: /lib/modules/2.6.17-6-686
And removed sd_mod.ko and libata.ko from drivers/.../scsi/ Then I removed /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-6-686 and re-create it using update-initramfs -u Now my drivers are seen using /dev/hda* and /home is mounted correctly. -- Can't mount XFS drive after upgrading to Edgy (from dapper) https://launchpad.net/bugs/56384 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
