I have a question regarding this issue ...
Today I've installed FC2 on computer with SATA as the only harddisk. For the installation matter I've connected a CDROM to ide interface. The installation went just ok, but now the computer refuses to boot if I detach the cdrom drive. It does not matter what cd is in, with cdrom attached it books OK from SATA drive , but when detaching the device it fails with :
Kernel panic: VFS unable to mount root on unknown-block(0,0)
Anyone has a solution for it ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Since Fedora Core 1 and the support of SATA disks there haw been a problem in detection of standard boot device. The Fedora installer dont detect what device the bios will boot on. Annaconda standard boot on /dev/hda if it is present, but the people that have a SATA disk as primary boot device, will have to switch the boot loader to that device. If not, the bootloader will not boot, because it is set on hda (the secondary harddisk).
It would be a god idea to have Anaconda detect what primary bootdevice from the bios. (like SuSE)
I have seen a lot of frustrated newbees telling me that Fedora 2 dont support SATA disks, and thats a shame.
