trouble with 2.4.30 kernel and SATA
 
I have a working gentoo 2.6.9 installation which I'm trying to get to work with a 2.4.30 kernel.

Whatever I do, the kernel panics when trying to mount the filesystem:

Code:
VFS: cannot open root device "sda3" or 08:03
Both the boot partition sda1 and the installation on sda3 are reiserfs. I'm not sure what's wrong, can anyone help me out?

Well the obvious place to look for problems is in your kernel config. Did you compile support for sata disks and reiserfs into the kernel (not as modules)?

Yeah, reiserfs, SATA, and SCSI support all should be compiled in. After fiddling with some settings, its getting stuck at a partition check.

Code:
partition check:
hda:
And it just stays blocked there. hda should be my windows disk. Is the partition check normal, and if so what could be causing it to get stuck there?

Should I compile in NTFS support? Surely that shouldn't be a problem, though...

MIght be helpful to post your lilo.conf / grub configuration (minus the comments / blank lines). Also /etc/fstab, and # fdisk -l /dev/hda # fdisk -l /dev/sda
