I had to recomplie the kernel, so decided that I may as well move up to
2.6.6 from 2.6.6-rc1. I can't boot 2.6.6, though - the dreaded "VFS:
Cannot open root device "hda7" or hda7" message. The following is, I
think, relevant:

cfdisk:

hda1 Boot Primary Linux ext3 [BOOT]
41.13
hda5 Logical Linux swap
616.90
hda6 NC Logical Linux ext3 [HOME]
18720.74
hda7 NC Logical Linux ext3 [ROOT]
11359.12
================================================== ============
grep EXT3 /usr/src/linux-2.6.6/.config

CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y
# CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL is not set
# CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY is not set
================================================== =============
cat /mnt/hda1/grub/grub.conf:

default 1

splashimage=(hd0,6)/usr/share/grub/splashimages/penguins.xpm.gz

2.6.6-rc1 boots fine, as it always did. I just moved the .config
to the 2.6.6 directory and compiled as always. I tried to check
the forums and Google, but came up with nothing. Any advice
appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like something changed and linux does not know, what is hdX ...
Please look in config file for IDE controllers & devfs support ... may
bug there
