 |
|
Hello all,
I am running into an issues where the kernel cannot find the root partation.
Here is the sys info
PII 450
198MB Ram
8 gb Scsi drive
Adaptec scsi controler
3 parttitions
/dev/sda1 = boot
/dev/sda2 = swap
/dev/sda3 = root
The fstab looks as follows
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 /boot reiserfs noauto,noatime,notail 1 1
/dev/sda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
|
when the system boots the kernel the options get passed ok yet it errors saying
| Quote: | Cannot open root device""
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
|
Here is my grub.conf
| Code: | default 0
timeout 15
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda3
|
I can boot with the live cd and mount /dev/sda3 all day long but for some reason the options are not getting correctly passed to the kernel...
I have scsi disk support compiled into the kernel and I'm rather lost as to what to look at next.... |
