Did you run mkinitrd and change the kernel modules?
Not long after I posted I had a look at my INITRD script and saw "-d /dev/hda1" in it, changed it to /dev/sda1, reboot to be done later this evening perhaps.
As of old rdev used to be able to change the root and swap devices to whatever you wanted for a kernel. It now tells me that /dev/sda1 doesn't exist. The pata_nv and libata modules are loaded. Problem in initrd or grub????
I would do a full update (booting from Alpha CD) - in that case YaST will do all changes itself for you,

If my changes don't work, I shall do that. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
