Dirk Have you tried root=/dev/sda7, i.e. s rather than h, in lilo? My understanding is that disk driver changes in the kernel have resulted in the replacement of IDE subsystem drivers with a universal (SCSI based) subsystem. A side effect of this is device name changes, notably /dev/hdX to /dev/sdX. I'm not sure that this is 100% accurate because I don't track kernel changes as closely as some folks. HTH, David

My understanding is that disk driver changes in the kernel have resulted in the replacement of IDE subsystem drivers with a universal (SCSI based) subsystem. Not replaced, the old one is still there and one has to select the new SCSI based drivers explicitely. A side effect of this is device name changes, notably /dev/hdX to /dev/sdX. That's true, indeed.

[gentoo-user] Error booting new kernel
I have a quastion related to vanilla-sources kernel. After upgrading vanilla-sources from 2.6.26 to 2.6.28_rc2 I am not able to boot anymore. I tried playing with menuconfig couple of times, but couldn't find what I have to change in order to make it work again. The error message while booting is like this: Using IPI shortcut mode BIOS EDD facility v 0.16 2004-Jul-25 1 devices found VFS: Cannot open root device 307 on unknown-block(3,7) Please append a correct root= boot option; here are the available partitions: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown- block(3,7) Note that in my lilo.conf I have root=/dev/hda7 line for all kernels. Thanks for any suggestion, Marko

Thanks for any suggestion, Marko The 2 main things to look for are File System support chipset. did you copy your old .config and run a make oldconfig ? Shouldn't have been much to modify, if any. deface

Thanks for any suggestion, Marko That filesystem support is not compiled in the kernel?
