It panics, unable to mount on i386 without any LVM too. Asus
A7V600, kt600 chipset, both pata an sata drives. My / is on hd0,0
an IDE pata drive. The sata (all storage) appears to be found
before the kernel panics on IDE. All drives (2 pata, 1 sata) are
ext3.
Same thing here with a plain Pentium M laptop (HP Compaq nc4010)

It failed to mount /dev IIRC.

Before I saw any of these posts, I had already remade an initrd
for 2877. I was ignorant of "the changes to use libata PATA
drivers" I am usin mount by label,
title FC7 (2.6.19-1.2877.fc7)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2877.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.6.19-1.2877.fc7.img
According to rawhide report that's 2.6.20rc1
Since I share /boot between fc6-test an rawhide, I could see what
2877 initrd contains (both the original an my remake)... but I
don't know how
