SiI 3124 PCI-X Serial ATA Controller.  It mounts on /home.  There's also a cdrom connected to the Silicon Image, Inc. PCI0680 Ultra ATA-133 Host Controller and another ST4000VN008-2DR1 drive connected to a Broadcom HBA.  There are two Broadcom HBAs. I think the issue is with the root ST373207LW drive.  The console output indicates that the ROOT drive doesn't exist when the boot fails. Your change only appeared to affect actual SCSI drives.  That's why I tried disabling CDL. > > Could you send a full dmesg output for a clean boot and for a failed one so that > I can compare ? I'll try to get this together tomorrow. Dave -- John David Anglin dave.anglin@bell.net
