Hello again
all,
I've just recently started putting together a Mandrake 8.0 box. (About 3
hours ago, yes in the middle of the night.) For a hard drive, I have an
IBM SCSI Drive on an Adaptec 2940-U2 card. When I ran the install, it
found the card and the drive automagically. I was impressed and
happy. Went through the installation fine, copied all the files. But
as soon as I rebooted to run it for the first time, I get the LILO graphical
screen, I choose one of the options (any), and get the following
error...
request_module[block-major-8]: Root fs not
mounted
VFS: Cannot
open root device "801" or 08:01
Please append a
correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic:
VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01
Just some more
information. The HD is on SCSI ID #6. The controller is on #7.
The SCSI BIOS sees the drive because I can see it report it on boot. When
I watch the boot messages fly by for Linux, I see no reference to any sd#
devices at all.
I'm really
completely lost here. Would changing the SCSI ID # help? That
doesn't seem to be likely. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. Thanx a lot guys/grrls!!
