If i were you id have all hard drive based support compiled into the
kernel, and none as modules, its the safest way.
Id try that.

Hi there!
Just finished LFS SVN-20060906 with some modifications (Glibc-2.4
plus Glibc-LibIDN-2.4 built as per book and Linux-2.6.17.11 plus
Linux-Headers-2.6.17.11-08232006 from Cross-LFS SVN-20060906-x86) and
had no problems in compilation. Now I tried various times to boot but
had no success, always ended up with a kernel panic.
The error message is " VFS: Cannot open root device "sdb3" 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)"".
Host is OpenSUSE 10.2 Alpha 3 i386 on first ide hd (hda) (hda1
swap, hda2 root, hda3 home); dvdrecorder is hdc and dvd is hdd; I
built into sata hard disk 2 (sdb with LFS on sdb3) (first sata is sda
with M$). I built reiserfs (file system of my LFS system while
OpenSUSE use xfs) and libata plus sata_via compiled into the kernel
while scsi and other devices (ide etc...) as modules.
Boot is from grub os OpenSUSE configured like this:
title OpenSUSE
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2
and then
title LFS SVN-20060906
root (hd?,?) # I tried various options with no success
kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.17.11 root=/dev/sdb3
Where is the error and how to solve it? If something else is
needed (kernel-configurations or what please ask).
Thanks in advance,
Luca
