I made a few tests. First I booted my comp with Ubuntu Live Feisty
Fawn, checked modules which are loaded, and interesting ones are:
ata_piix, ata_generic, libata, scsi_mod, sg, sr_mod, sd_mod
ls /dev/sda* showed:
/dev/sda{1,2,3,4}.
So I recompiled the kernel with these options (marking all these
drivers as a modules, in the previous situation they were modules, as
well as compiled directly), and tried to boot. Nothing worked. The
same situation appeared: Waiting for root file system...
Second, I installed a Debian distribution kernel
(linux-image-2.6.22-1-686) and booted from it. It used an old IDE
driver, not PATA. So again no success.
According to AHCI, my chip is rather not that kind. Ubuntu does not
load any AHCI modul. In my previous kernel compilations I tried that
option as well. It did not work.
