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