I was running Sarge on an Athlon cpu with ide/ext2 on a kernel compiled
from kernel-source-2.4.18. My system boots using grub from on a BSD
slice.
After installing kernel-image-2.4.19-k7 & initrd-tools a reboot fails
with:
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda5" or 03:05
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:05
/boot/grub/menu.lst:
title Debian
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 hda=39813,16,63 idebus=66 devfs=mount
initrd=/initrd.img
The install of the kernel image created /initrd & the link /initrd.img.
I have also tried the above with & without devfs=mount/nomount, & read
through many similar problems on google. The following have not made
any difference:
rdev /vmlinuz /dev/hda5
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.4.19-k7 /lib/modules/2.4.19/
(the above line is from memory - I used auto-completion when entering)
thanks
Jeff
