No, a symlink would not work.
You should change all the references to device independent ones, like label, id, or uuid (not sure if all are valid). Nowhere should you have references like "hda" or "sda".
well, i looked at menu.lst and fstab in my 10.3 for the first time and saw a bunch of brave new things...I guess entropy *must* increase... i will try the "hwprobe=-modules.pata" in a day or two,
I was forced to do that, as I have way more than 15 partitions.
but i somehow doubt it will solve my problem and then i will have to decide if i will live w. it or revert to 10.2 . btw, how does grub know about libata before the kernel is loaded and how/does it get modified?
No, grub doesn't know a word about it. If grub uses references like /dev/sda or /dev/hda, you must be sure that you use the same flavour as the kernel. Same thing applies to fstab. And if you use references like hd0, then they must also be the correct ones and the correct order (they can change if you mix pata/sata)... so that's where the new naming scheme comes in handy. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
