SubjectUnable to find root fs with libata only 2.6.18-mm3
I dont have scsi or ide/ata support compiled into my kernel, only the 
libata drivers, now that they're split out from the scsi tree. As far
as I could see from the "help" dialog, this was a valid configuration.
However, I can't load the root fs using any scsi device name or ide
device name. eg, /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1, /dev/hda1 etc etc. I
tried the LABEL=/ option in the boot args, which should work and that
gave me nothing.

My question is, do I still need to compile in scsi disk/cdrom/generic
support into my kernel to get libata devices to work or is there some
other syntax i'm missing? Libata detects my drives, but as far as I
could see, and it flies by too fast to read, no device nodes were
assigned to them.

If you do need scsi support, why isn't that done automatically when you
select your libata drivers? or at least a pointer in the "Help" dialog
to tell you to enable that ?
