Hi:
Hardware:
Pentium III 500 Mhz, 256MB
ASUS P2B-S (with AIC7890 on mobo)
SCSI HD & CD
Worked perfectly with Mandrake 7.2 - and then I updated to Mandrake
8.0. Lacking a CD burner, I attempted both network and hard drive
installs. As neither worked, I did a massive "rpm -Uvh *".
When I try to boot with the stock 2.4.3 kernel, I get these messages:
request_module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device "807" or 08:07
Please append a correct "root=' boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:07
/etc/lilo.conf contains:
vmlinuz-2.4.3-20mdk
label=243-20
root=/dev/sda7
read-only
optional
Note: there is no initrd statement for this kernel; and there are no
messages indicating that the scsi controller has been recognized.
Anybody know what's going on here and what I should do about it? Do you
need more info?
Thanks.
David
