 |
|
Hello,
I'm keep getting
| Code: | | Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) |
I went over a few posts, here and also for other distro's, but still no solution.
I don't get what is the issue.
Any help will be appreciate.

TsTr,
tells that the kernel cannot see the hard drive.
Your hard drive is on one of
| Code: | 00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01)
00:10.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 01) |
The driver for your IDE interface is Thats good.
The driver for your SCSI interface is in the | Code: | | # CONFIG_FUSION is not set |
menu, so its off right now.
Change your kernel to enable the FUSION menu them choose the right option for a 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT inside the menu.

Thank you.
I did understand that my hd might not been found that something is missing in the kernel. But I didn't know what related it to.
I edited the conf file and enable few more settings,
recompile and update.
But still the same error:

Is it might be the problem that I do not use initramfs?
Maybe a virtual machine on VMware require initramfs in order to work properly? |

TsTr,
is correct.
Reading the kernel help on the options inside the Fusion menu, one of them says
| Code: | CONFIG_FUSION_SPI: │
│ │
│ SCSI HOST support for a parallel SCSI host adapters. │
│ │
│ List of supported controllers: │
│ │
│ LSI53C1020 │
│ LSI53C1020A │
│ LSI53C1030 │
│ LSI53C1035 │
│ ATTO UL4D |
You have a 53c1030, which is on that list but your kernel contains | Code: | | # CONFIG_FUSION_SPI is not set |
so the driver for your card is still missing.
You do not need an initrd provided everything needed to mount the root filesystem is configured as <*> in the kernel.

Again, thanks very much for your help.
Work like a charm ! 
How or where do you find this list in order to know what flag to turn on on menuconfig (for example, the SPI issue)? |

TsTr,
About the only way in to read the kernel help, item by item.
This 14 year old post is mostly correct today.
The method in good. The commands are a bit out of date.
Then there is kernel-seeds. Its no longer maintained but it goes into more detail.
The author of the site is still on the forums.
There is the Debian GNU/Linux device driver check page, also unmaintained.
I can't think of a single source.
