    Re: kernel 2.6.22-9 freezes on splash screen

    The question was in reference to the entry in /dev [/dev/hda] not fstab. In another post (forget which one), another user had a reference in their fstab entry to a cdrom that took the form of /dev/hdx /media/cdrom

    In that case, the hdx entry in /dev as actually a link.

      Very strange, since (for all I know, that is) /dev/hdx is supposed to be "real"

        For example, from my fstab for my cdrom:
        Code:
        /dev/scd0    /media/cdrom0  udf,iso9660 user,noauto   0    0
        And from my /dev using ls -l cdr*
        Code:
        lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-08-18 10:01 cdrom -> scd0
        lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-08-18 10:01 cdrw -> scd0
        And from my /dev using dir cdr*
        Code:
        cdrom cdrw
        Which would imply, that using either, /dev/cdrom or /dev/scd0 in fstab for the cdrom would be acceptable.

        Or am I simply reading to much into this?

          O.k., that's what I know as well (other than the "hdc -> cdrom" link you implied before).

          I do, however, not make use of such links (in the context of "fstab" and the like, that is) to keep things as transparent as possible - since from my experience, such links could be mislinking, er, misleading ... but that's only me

              James from answers.launchpad.net came up with the solution. Posting it here in case anyone else has a similar problem:

              try doing this: edit this file
              /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, and add these lines:

              piix
              ide_generic
              ide_cd
              ide_disk

              # blacklist bad driver
              blacklist ata_piix

              # prevent unnecessary modules from being loaded (you don't need to do this)
              blacklist ata_generic
              blacklist libata
              blacklist scsi_mod

              after editing:

              sudo update-initramfs -u

              that should set up your hard drive to 'standard' hda drives, instead of
              setting them up as scsi (sd*)
