I'm running FC-6 on a ThinkPad T23, with my root partition on a disk in the Ultrabay /dev/hdc . Recent kernels do not seem to see /dev/hdc during boot, which therefore fails, with the above message. This happens with vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6, vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 and vmlinuz-2.6.19, which I just compiled myself. On the other hand, vmlinuz-2.6.18 (also compiled by me) is working fine. I tried running grub interactively, and it seems that /dev/hdc5, which is my / partition, is not found. I wonder if this is ThinkPad Ultrabay specific, or has there been a general change in the kernel setup? Any suggestions or advice gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
