I've a tekram DC390F controller, and an IBM DDRS-model 4.5 gig drive.
I've installed redhat 5.2 on it, and the controller was automatically
detected as an NCR53C8XX. The system worked fine, until I rebuild the
kernel with NCR53C8xx support using freshly installed sources of kernel
2.0.36.
I tried booting to the new kernel (after installing it in the proper
places, and running /sbin/lilo), and the system reported this:
SCSI: 0 hosts
SCSI: detected total.
partition check:
VFS: cannot open root device 08:01
kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 08:01
And the system hangs there. Does this mean that the scsi controller
isn't being detected, or is it a problem with my drive? If it is a
problem with LILO, why did it work before I recompiled the kernel?
I've three partitions on the drive; the / file system is 2.0gig, and the
rest is /home. The 2.0gig is well below LILO's limitations, if i'm
correct, I can't figure out what else is preventing the system from
booting through.
Please make comments, suggestions, etc. All will be appreciated
greatly. Thanks in advance
Robert Johannes
