Hi, I have a SATA disk with the intel piix chipset. In kernel 2.6 there is a separate section for SATA disks, but kernel 2.4 does not have any such section. How can I compile kernel 2.4 for the SATA disk support? I tried compiling 2.4.26 with support for piix chipset in the list of IDE drives but on booting I get kernel panic with the message "cannot open root device". Can anyone suggest the correct options to be used in the .config file. Thanks in advance. Shourya -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
