my motherboard is an abit nf7-s rev 2.0 with a silicon image 3112A sata
controller.

this is my fstab:

/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb1 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/sda5 /mnt/hd reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

now that sata_sil is compiled as module at the boot time i obtain the
following output:

can't locate module block-major-8
/dev/sda5 is not a valid block device

i think there is a problem with kernel configuration (i tried with kernel
2.4.28-pre3 and i obtained the same results....) if it can be helpful i
could post my configure-2.4.27 file
(i have to say that with kernel 2.6.7 there are no problems,
but i'd like to be able to use sata hd also with a 2.4.x kernel)

thank you
