Hi,
I was trying to install RedHat 6.0 on a new computer we received:
4cpu Xeon 450, 4x9GB disks, 3SCSI controllers(ncr810+ncr896+ncr896), 1GB
RAM...
...and it failed:
scsi : 0 hosts
scsi : detected total
Partition check
VFS: Cannot open device 08:21
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:21
After a lot of reboot (HW configuration changes, setup & ncr bios changes,...)
I discovered the problem which was NOT an SCSI problem on /dev/sdb5 which I
do not have, but it was a memory managemnt error from RedHat install...
Solution was then very easy, just boot instal with the option:
linux mem=128M expert
... and everything was fine (SCSI just perfect!).
