Ok, I tried the ide2 patch on your website against -rc5 - Disabled CONFIG_IDE and kept rest of the configuration same as earlier. Funny situation - I cannot figure what my root device is. Earlier without the patch it was /dev/sda3 and now I try everything (hda3, hdb3, hdc3, hdd3, sda3, sdb3...) but it panics - not able to mount rootfs. I have - 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE (rev 01) (prog-if 80 [Master]) It prints some ata_piix message while booting but I cannot read that since it scrolls fast and post panic obviously I can't scroll up! Any default for the only one HDD and CDROM that I can try?
