+<PRE>Le 22/09/2011 11:51, xi a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> Hi,
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I have changed my motherboard and Mageia now refuses to boot (kernel
+</I>&gt;<i> panic after trying to mount /dev/sda1 : &quot;waiting for device sda1 to
+</I>&gt;<i> appear (timeout 1 min), ...&quot;).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I think I know the reason of my problem : the initrd does not load the
+</I>&gt;<i> correct driver for my &quot;new&quot; IDE controller, so it can't mount my disk
+</I>&gt;<i> (driver for old motherboard is pata_amd and new driver is pata_via).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I tried to play with mageia rescue CD, but I am unable to regenerate
+</I>&gt;<i> the initrd with the correct IDE driver (in fact, the rescue CD doesn't
+</I>&gt;<i> even contain the mkinitrd command).
+</I>&gt;<i> My question is : how can I solve my problem, given that I have only
+</I>&gt;<i> one rescue CD and my HD containing mageia that don't boot anymore ?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> A long time ago in the perfect world of Mandrake (:P), all IDE
+</I>&gt;<i> controller were included _inside_ the kernel and _not_ compiled as
+</I>&gt;<i> modules*, so this problem never occured because all IDE drivers were
+</I>&gt;<i> always &quot;loaded&quot; (thus allowing my system to be booted on any computer).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Now that the ide/sata drivers as compiled as modules, why don't the
+</I>&gt;<i> initrd try to load all the ATA drivers if mounting of &quot;/&quot; fails ?
+</I>&gt;<i> (from my point of view, it is a much better solution than failing with
+</I>&gt;<i> a kernel panic ...)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Thanks for your help,
+</I>&gt;<i> Xavier
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> *this is _my_ interpretation, I may be wrong.
+</I>Have you tried to make an installation again with the option &quot;Upgrade&quot; ?
