Hey everyone, I've got a Dell 1750 server running Debian that we use here at school. It's a dual-Xeon box with RAID. I decided to give a 2.6 kernel a try on this server so I built the kernel and configured lilo.conf to boot the new kernel. Actually, I used Debian's make-kpkg tool to do most of the heavy lifting. Having learned my lesson many years ago when I built my first custom kernel, I made sure that the old working kernel was still an option in my LILO config. Unfortunately, neither kernel boots now. I'm getting: VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or 08:01 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01 I'd put a different "root=" boot option in there, but I'm not sure which partition holds the root. My install notes are nowhere to be found, and I'm not even sure that this machine uses the standard /dev/sdax naming given that's it's using a RAID controller. Anyone have a suggestion? I'm at a loss right now. -Tim -- Tim Wilson Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Educational technology guy, Linux and OS X fan, Grad. student, Daddy mailto: wilson at visi.com aim: tis270 public key: 0x8C0F8813 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
