But if I leave in CONFIG_IDE=y, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y I get root on 0x0302 rather than 0x0802 even when I also have CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y and CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=y. If the first two are not set then the kernel cannot find anything. My understanding is that with Alan's patch everything should be using major 8, and that CONFIG_IDE is no longer required, yes? -JimC -- James H. Cloos, Jr.
