Subject:   HELP! Cannot boot after changing from ATA66 to ATA100
Message-ID:  <20010608232534.A3382@polands.org>

The good news: I discovered my IBM DTLA drive was connected 
to my VIA ATA66 controller and was able to move it to my Promise 
ATA100 controller socket.

The bad news: I cannot boot!  The device names of my harddrive
have changed.  This is what it looked like before:  (4.3-STABLE)

dmesg | grep -i ata
atapci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA66 controller> port 0xd800-0xd80f at device 4.1 on pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
atapci1: <Promise ATA100 controller> port 0x8000-0x803f,0x8400-0x8403,0x8800-0x8807,0x9000-0x9003,0x9400-0x9407 mem +0xce800000-0xce81ffff irq 10 at device 17.0 on pci0

acd0: CD-RW <RICOH DVD/CDRW MP9060> at ata1-master using PIO4

Now that I've moved the HD cable to the ATA100 socket, this is what I see:

atapci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA66 controller> port 0xd800-0xd80f at device 4.1 on pci0
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
ata2: at 0x9600 on atapci1
atapci1: <Promise ATA100 controller> port 0x8000-0x803f,0x8400-0x8403,0x8800-0x8807,0x9000-0x9003,0x9400-0x9407 mem +0xce800000-0xce81ffff irq 10 at device 17.0 on pci0
ad4: 43979MB <IBM-DTLA-307045> [89355/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA100
acd0: CD-RW <RICOH DVD/CDRW MP9060> at ata1-master using PIO4

I've managed to mount /dev/ad4s3a as a read-only filesystem.  I was hoping
to change fstab entries from ad0/ad4 but I have no ad4* devices in /dev.
And, I cannot mount / read-write.

So how can I fix this?  I've tried using the live filesystem CD in fixit mode.
I can mount /dev/ad4s3 (my / partition of old) rw but cannot do a ./MAKEDEV 
ad4.  It returns error messages (I can get them if necessary).

Thanks for the help.  It sucks having to boot into windows to type this
email :(
