Hi, I just changed the motherboard of a centos 4.4 installation for a new one. this new one has a SIS chipset. Now when i boot from the hard disk i get a kernel panic (unable to find root, no hdd found , etc)
Really?
I have identified the module I need to load to make centos "see" the disks. Now the question is what do I need to modify in my existing installation, to tell centos to use the new sis module and to *not* use the old intel?

Can't really help you though, without seeing it.
You're m eyes: what do I see?
Hint, You should have a current Knoppix CD handy. Every sysadmin should, including Windows sysadmins.
