It boots
Errror Message:
Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
can't mount rootfs cause no block devices were detected cause block
device driver isn't in the kernel or your drives died.
Notes:
all drivers directly into the kernel (no modules) - not using an
initrd
image
using the Adaptec AACRAID support - SCSI_AACRAID=y
using the Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for SPI - FUSION_SPI=y
missing one: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD. The kernel can't talk to scsi block
devices. Try enabling the scsi block device driver in the kernel and
trying again.
If the kernel doesn't find block devices attached to your scsi
drivers that means the drives are dead or you didn't load the block
device driver.
Sincerely,
William
