Workstation

I don't know if my actual Linuxdistribution or the mainboard of the computer or the harddisk causes the problems, but as I noticed yesterday, I'm unable to boot the machine from any of the two SATA-disk's.

As I started to build the computer from scratch I had 5 harddiscs and one dvd-burner, so both IDE-Channels and both of the SATA-Interfaces were used. After removing the windows partitions and some clean up, I decided to remove two 80GB-IDE disk's for noise reduction.

I soon wonder why my copied root-partition would not boot the system: I can run grub of it and fire up the initial ramdisk, but as soon as the kernel try to load the the root-partition, it searches for a USB-drive, not SATA. After booting, of course, the SATA-Drives show up as what they are….

So, my sollution was to reorganize the disk's and put the root-partition on the last IDE-Drive, and I also made an extra boot-partition with ext2 because of earlier issue's with non-suse GRUB.
