The only problems with switching after install is:
- you need to be sure the initrd has the (proper) SATA kernel module(s)
in it. If necessary, you'll have to use mkinitrd to re-create the initrd file to include the proper driver modules.
- /etc/fstab needs to be fixed, either to use LABEL= (rather than
/dev/hdaN) and your file systems (including swap) need to have file sytem labels. (LVM volumes won't be a problem.)
I changed it in bios to sata mode. Now after boot up it calls it sda instead of hda and disk I/O is much faster.
I see in this file:
# cat /boot/grub/device.map # this device map was generated by anaconda (hd0) /dev/hda
Should I change this too sda? It works and boots the way it is but just wandering?
No - I believe grub just refers to hd as hard drive and this does not relate to /dev/sda or /dev/hda
Here is fstab:
# cat /etc/fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
