Why do you have boot=/dev/hda? Unless your boot partition is on hda
I think it should be boot=/dev/sdb

I really hope this isn't a redundant question - I searched the
archives at RedHat and Dejanews but didn't see exactly the
answer I was looking for.

I'm trying to boot a 6.0 system using a ramdisk which includes
a scsi driver (fibre channel).  My lilo.conf looks like this:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=80
verbose = 3
...
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
        label=mt
        root=/dev/sdb2
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.mt.img
        read-only
...

I want to boot via the ram disk to /dev/sdb2, but I'm
obviously doing something wrong.  I am getting a
kernel panic:  VFS: Unable to load root fs from 08:12
(sorry for the inexact error message)  My biggest question
is, if I understand it correctly, 08:12 refers to /dev/sda12 ??

Could someone please enlighten a linux novice?

Mark
