I altered my fstab in an attempt to get it to recognize a multi-card reader box. I'm getting messages: "ext3 -fs- hda3: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (80008000), (80008004)", "kernel panic:not syncing:VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown -block(0,0). Can't get cfdisk -P s (hd0,0) or hda to even see hard drive! Cfdisk yields "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive." Can someone please give a hand? I'm using Arch Linux v .7 and grub with the auto partition scheme prescribed by ArchLinux. Grub was working prior to the change to the fstab. Knoppix live cd doesn't see hard drive.

Sounds bad if Knoppix wont see it.
is there anything else you did apart from tinker with fstab ?
First shot is make sure the hardware is still functioning.
Swap some cables and connections etc. then maybe try d/l a hard disk diagnostics prog from http://ultimatebootcd.com/
next stage would be to take an image of the drive to a spare empty drive and work on that. should u need help with that , do ask.
