Now i am using kernel 2.4.20 and it is working nice but when I try to boot 2.5.xx I obtain this error: VFS:cannot open root device "hdb5" or hdb5 After working on it, now I am sure that the problem is on the hard disk because I have an AWARD 4.51 and my hdb is an 60Gb disk so I use the STROKE from SEAGATE to use it. I don`t have any problem on 2.x.xx but I cannot boot on it now. I have booted the same kernel that displayed the error in other system and it booted perfectly, so the problem resides on the hdb. I wish you could help me resolving it, maybe a patch for the drive... I hope your answer. Thank u Guille
