I have a PC here with an intel i875p chipset which seems not to recognize logical partititions. 2.4.18 (kernel bf24 image) boots fine, but i do not get a 2.6.0-test5 or 2.6.0-test9 to boot. I compiled all necessary IDE drivers in, IDE, ide disk and piix and such. All attempts yield in Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda5 I tried to submit root=0305 and such to pass to it. On my later investigations I realized that the partition recocnizion seems to fail. When booting Kernels report hda: hda1 hda2 and boot, this one reports only: hda: hda hda2 So, where are the logical ones? In "Advanced partition selection" I switched on "PC BIOS (MSDOS partition tables) support" but that made no difference... hm. what next?
