I am having trouble setting up Debian woody on a IOpener. I am
setting up the IDE drive on another machine, and then hooking it up to
the IOpener and attempting to boot. When I attempt to boot with the
drive in the IOpener, I get:
VFS: Cannot open root device "301" or 03:01
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
I have tried to add root=/dev/hda1 to the boot prompt with no success.
I can boot fine to the drive when it is hooked up to my desktop
machine.
"uname -a" gives:
Linux newman 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i686
unknown
lilo.conf looks like this (with comments removed):
lba32
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda1
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
prompt
vga=ask
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
"fdisk -l" gives:

"lilo -q -v" gives:

Interesting, there is where the "root=301" comes from. But why is it
there? What should I specify in lilo.conf?
