Hi all. I try to run an external SCSI disk box (3 disks) with a Sparcstation 20 (Debian 3.0 Woody, kernel 2.4.18 SMP, 2 x SuperSparc II 75 MHz, no CDROM). Disk array: Sun P/N 595-3769-01, three 2GB disks (one slot is empty), narrow SCSI (50 pin).
The SS20 starts booting, linux bootup recognizes 4 SCSI disks: three times ST32550N (external) and a MAB3045S internal 4GB disk. External: SCSI ID 0-2, internal 3. This one is the boot disk. When I boot with the disk array powered down, the SS20 boots without problems. With external disks on it ends up with: Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01 Press L1-A to return to the boot prom spin_lock(f0209000) CPU#0 stuck at f00599a8, owner PC(f0027124):CPU(1) ... ( last line periodically repeated) ... What is going wrong? Does my SS20 try to use an external disk as root filesystem? Which device is 08:01?
