Booting stops with kernel panic when trying to mount the root fs.
The kernel is huge-smp-2.6.33.3-smp.
This is the lilo.conf , the problem is booting alt_linux which
is a new installation of slackware current on /dev/hda5
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
lba32
boot = /dev/hda
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
delay = 50
vga = normal
# ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-huge-smp-2.6.27.7-smp
root = /dev/hda6

append = "max_luns=8"
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
image = /altlnx/boot/vmlinuz

The listing on top looks like the partiontions of disk hda,
but it says sda - when there was an other sata disk connected
it was listed as sdb. Could it be that there is now a problem
booting from ata disks ?
Using the lilo and lilo.conf from the new installation
gives the same results, obviously the new kernel cannot
mount the hda5 partition.
Is there any solution except using a sata disk as root device ?
