Not to sound too dense or anything, but is there a HOWTO for this kernel to enable the libata code?
I've read through the Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt file, and seems like all I have to do is include libata.atapi_enabled=1 combined_mode=libata on the grub.conf line to enable it, but when I boot that kernel with that option, I get an error message: 'Block device /dev/sda1 is not a valid root device' and a 'boot() ::' prompt.
Thanks in advance, Erik.
