Barry,
That's a good idea. I forgot about that. I was was going to suggest that
Mark verify that he's compiling the right drive controller driver, but if
that was the case, he wouldn't have gotten as far as he did.

You should be able to pass the root device to the kernel at boot time (root=

Did you compile in your ext2/ext3 support as a module or statically into th=
