Hello!!
I'm running 4.0-CURRENT cvsupped last Friday. I've tried to move my
installation from a partition on the first disk of the first IDE 
controller to a new disk that I've placed as master of the second IDE
controller. Everything looks fine until the system tries to mount the
root partition and can't find it, so it panics. I've tried breaking the
boot process and setting num_ide_disks and rootdev to no avail.

Here is the dmesg and error messages:

It doesn't matter what I set as num_ide_disks and rootdev, the system
always tries to mount partitions on wd1. Is this a known issue or am I
doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!!
