Hello Redhat list I am having a problem building a new kernel for a MSI 845E Max Motherboard. I am running RH9.0 and rebuilding a 2.4.20 kernel.
The problem appears to be with the HDD/CD-ROM controller (an ICH4 on an Intel 845E chipset) of the IDE hard-drive (WD 40GB IDE/7200). When I boot my newly built kernel I get a kernel panic with the following lines: VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 My old /etc/lilo.conf file (which worked fine) had the following line in it (as does the image section for my new kernel): append = "hdc=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/" I am not familiar with what this line is doing. Also I do not have a good .config file to work with so I am not at all sure of my initial configuration of the IDE and SCSI parts of the kernel (the config file in /boot was garbage on my system). Can you please help me with understanding what that line in lilo.conf is about? If you have this board I could sure use a sample .config file as well. If you don't any advice is appreciated on configuring the IDE SCSI sections. Thank you, Daniel uff. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
