Well... I've been trying to boot the 2.4 kernel but without success.
The kernel can't mount the root partition at 08:01. Someone suggested
initrd was not well, so I rebuilt the kernel with the scsi support
for aicxxxx as part of the kernel (to avoid the need for an initrd
image), but that didn't work either with the kernel still looking
for a way to mount 08:01. Now, this was strange since the scsi
host and drives were just detected a few seconds before the root
filesystem needed to be mounted. How can the kernel not know about
08:01 once it has detected the scsi host?!?!??!
So, I thought this might be a devfs interference, so I tried a new
kernel again, this time without devfs. Same result.
I just cant boot the 2.4 kernel.
Suggestions?
