Hello list:
I just installed a new system per customer request with Fedora Core 2. After install, we downloaded all of the updates using yum. The system downloaded the newest kernel, which apparently changes the way it looks at Serial ATA drives. We need to get this customer online, but are not sure what needs to be changed. I know that in the 2.6.10 series of kernel it addresses Serial ATA drives as /dev/sda instead of the /dev/hde like it did in 2.6.5, but I'm not sure what else to change. I've been able to boot into the old kernel, but the swap partition no longer seems to work.
/dev/sda1 (formerly hde1) is /boot /dev/sda2 (formerly hde2) is / /dev/sda3 (formerly hde3) is swap
From booting in the old kernel:
root@host [~]# ls /sys/block/hde ./ ../ dev device@ hde1/ hde2/ hde3/ queue/ range size stat
Here's grub.conf:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hde2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hde

Please let me know what I need to do to get the system to boot successfully with swap enabled in the new kernel. Thanks for any help you can provide!
