SATA boot whish for FC3

[Dima Gutzeit]

I have a question regarding this issue ...

Today I've installed FC2 on computer with SATA as the only harddisk. For the
installation matter I've connected a CDROM to ide interface. The
installation went just ok, but now the computer refuses to boot if I detach
the cdrom drive. It does not matter what cd is in, with cdrom attached it
books OK from SATA drive , but when detaching the device it fails with :

Kernel panic: VFS unable to mount root on unknown-block(0,0)

Anyone has a solution for it ?

Thanks in advance.
