Hi,
I've just finished the LFS book and have stumbled on one last problem... I
hope.

When rebooting (yeah you guessed it!) I get a kernel panic: VFS: error.

So, I thought, as I have a fasttrack 378 sata controller all I'd need to do
is make sure that grub was pointing to the right partition, and all the
applicable sata kernel options were selected, recompile and
bob's yr uncle! but sadly not: ;)

Having looked through a vast array of different fixes, it seems like I have
exhausted all possibilities. I'm starting to wonder if I need a kernel
module for my controller, does anyone know if this is the case?

Also, something I noticed while poking around was that after unmounting $LFS
in chapter 9.3 all  the /mnt/lfs/dev files are missing apart from "console"
and "null".  Is that right?

Below is my set-up as it stands at the moment:

vmware disk 20gb
3 partitions:
root     sda1
swap   sda2
usr       sda3

grub
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.16.27 root=/dev/hda1 ( I've also tried sda1)


fstab

/dev/sda1       /             ext3      defaults        1      1

/dev/sda2       swap          swap      pri=1           0      0

proc            /proc         proc      defaults        0      0

sysfs           /sys          sysfs     defaults        0      0

devpts          /dev/pts      devpts    gid=4,mode=620  0      0

shm             /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults        0      0

Thanks in advance for your help

Nick
