Check your .config carefully and if that seems OK, > generate the -rc1 and -rc2 dmesg and diff them, send us the result. The .config between -rc1 and -rc2 are the same (I always keep the same .config). It found the disks in -rc2 (sda - ata_piix driver), but can't find "LABEL=/" because that's what the initrd is supposed to mount. I've tried mounting /dev/sda6 (which is my root) directly, but that doesn't help either. I'll generate the diff for you in a bit. -- Bas Vermeulen
