Dear all, To save others doing this trial-and-error loop, I decided to share my solution..
I had a multitude of different problems that were changing with kernel version and BIOS setup I am too lazy to list them all here.. My hardware: ASUS P4P800-VM, AMI bios 250 GB SATA disk NEC DVD-/+RW 2510 160 GB PATA disk PATA disk and DVD are sharing one UDMA cable Kernel version 2.6.8-1 The key was a correct (?) BIOS setup: IDE configuration->Onboard IDE operate mode [Enhanced Mode] Enhanced mode support on [S-ATA] Grub kernel line: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro (so hdc -> sda) After this the DVD is at hda, PATA disk at hdb, and the SATA disk at hdc (might be also in sda..). I did not get the UDF writing working, the reason of my upgrade, sigh. I do not know if it is related to the SATA problems.. Good luck, Kaj Keywords: Kernel Panic pivot_root dev/console -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
