ok.... so... I've found the solution but I've failed to use it :/
The thing that has to be done is to recompile the kernel without the devices>ATA>"generic...IDE....." option in the menuconfig. I'd realized that something was wrong because my SATA drive was marked as hda1 all the time (not sda1).
So I've recompiled the kernel and made a new grub.conf file and reinstalled grub.
The problem now is that although the kernel boots fine and there's no "kernel panic", at one point I get en error about a damaged file system (at the point "Checking root filesystem") and it's looking for /dev/hda2 which should be /dev/sda2. I'm almost sure it's the problem of hda1 being brutally changed to sda1 and the system goes crazy.
I'm on Window$ now  Any help PLEASE ??

put in the livecd. boot it. mount up and edit the fstab... you should then change all the hd's to sd's and you should be good. but make sure you edit the right fstab, or nothing will happen. 
cheers

I've fixed it but it wasn't a problem with fstab, because i thought about it earlier
The problem was with my bios. It was set to show sata discs as ide. I've changed that and a few sata drivers in the kernel.... it worked 
but there's a new problem... the system loaded to the login screen (slim) and hung there... no response :/ but i think i have a solution for that... i'll try to edit all the configfiles i can find and change /dev/hda2 to /dev/sda2. I'll do it a sec... If it does't work I'll be posting here really soon 
--EDIT--
I've accidentally turned off USB HID in the kernel... now I'm back on Gentoo... I'll check if ther's any difference on the "sata controlled" system. |
