What makes you think no going back? --
I am pretty sure that I read on this list that the option for choosing the legacy drivers was only at installation time.
Bob S
Nope. If you do choose to use the legacy driver you will need to also modify your fstab file accordingly.
Hmmmm.....Really !! How do I do that ? From the install DVD? I certainly wouldn't mind hand editing the fstab files.
Hmmmm....No response from Felix or Ken, nor any comment from Carlos who suffers the same malady as I, Sooooo...guys, can you, or cannot you "go back" and if you can, how do you do it??? Is it at every boot? or can you fix it permanently??
Bob S
As I said, you need to modify the entries in fstab from sdxx to hdxx for the IDE drives. And also change menu.lst accordingly. As far as how,name your poison, I use vi.
Ken, Bear with me here. I must be one dumb old codger. Are you telling me that if I just edit the fstab files and the menu.lst file that I will get back the 30+ partitions that libata took away?
