Hi -
I upgraded recently from grub 0.5 to 0.5.92 .
The commands that I type are:
root=(hd0,0)
kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.10
boot
These commands, which did work with 0.5, now result in the following
error during boot:
[snip - previous boot messages]
VFS: Cannot open root device 03:01
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
Can someone explain the syntax of "03:01" ?
I know these three lines worked for 0.5 because I wrote them down and
have typed them many times. One more difference is that 0.5.92 is
installed on hd0 the with the following command:
install=/boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 p
With 0.5 I was booting from floppy.
The hdd is a SCSI drive connected witha sym53c895 and has the
following partitions:
df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 3958483 2197160 1556524 59% /
/dev/sda3 1981249 377665 1501184 20% /home
/dev/sda4 11010995 4594398 5844898 44% /home/data
I was in the process of updating Debian potato (unstable) and there
were a lot of other packages upgraded along with grub, so there might
be a cross-dependency that has me confused.
Have any ideas how I should proceed ?
thank you,
aa
