I am installing SuSE linux 7.1 on a system with the Adaptek 19160 SCSI
adapter. I found the modules for the card on the modules floppy (used
autoload modules option). The installation works fine, (I'm using the good old
YaST v 1) and I install LILO on the Master Boot Record of the disk. When I
eventually restart the system, LILO comes up, the system starts to boot and
then all hell breaks loose (soory for the over dramatisation :) )
these are the last four lines visible on the screen, there appear to be no
other error messages...
request_module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device "803" or 08:03
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:03
...could this be because the kernel has to be told to load the SCSI module, or
that I have to use a diferent kernel? or is there something else?
Is there a way to get linux to boot up in a sort of step by step mode to be
able to check all messages during bootup?
Thanks
Mark Tagliaferro
