Both kernels are self-compiled or is 2.6.19 a distribution kernel? It could be that 2.6.20-rc6 has a bug and therefore no longer is able to use your controller. It's also possible that the enumeration changed (e.g. sda is now an external hard disk). During boot, there should be some messages prefixed with ata: and sda: describing what your kernel found and how it enumerated them. What do they print with 2.6.20-rc6? > Patrick cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
