Depends on what 'first time' means. > "kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01" You have no working root fs on the first partition of your first SCSI drive. :-) I've seen this happen when booting from a tftpimage without 'root=/dev/ram' parameter, and also at the reboot after installation if the environment aren't set right. The installation documentation explains both, IIRC. Thiemo
