 Posted: Mon Apr 19, 2004 6:26 pm Post subject: Kernel Panic on Dell PowerEdge 2400 [Resolved] |
 |
|
I used Knoppix to install 2004.0 and everything went fine. GRUB displays my boot options but I get the following error:
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3"
Please append a corrent "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
I do have root=/dev/sda3 appended to the end of the kernel line in my grub.conf
Also followed the Howto on kernel panics:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122524&highlight=sda3
2004.0
Stage 2
2.6.5 gentoo-dev-sources
733mhz P3
Adaptec Raid-1 (aic7xxx_old built in along with SCSI Device support)

Do u have your relevent file systems compiled into the kernel? If u are using reiserfs you have to explicitly compile that into the kernel. |

Here is my grub.conf:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.5
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.6.5 root=/dev/sda3
|
And fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/sda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
|
ReiserFS is built into the kernel. |

Did u use genkernel or did u roll your own. Is the hdd a scsi or sata? |

Hmmmm. I don't have much experience in the scsi realm. Your grub entry looks ok so long as you don't need an initrd. I would double check your scsi setting for the kernel u created. I think that perhaps something was left out.
EDIT:
Check out the make menuconfig device drivers->scsi device support->scsi low level drivers and make sure you have the relevent ones. |

| Any options you used to boot the LiveCD with, you must append to the kernel line in your grub.conf. |
