Hi,
my system has only scsi harddrives. When I boot from cdrom
(ide) to perform the installation everything runs fine. However, in the
instalationprocess (7.1 for Alpha) there is no opportunity to make a
bootdisk.
my problem: when i boot the system : kernel panic: unable to
mount root fs.
i guess this is because the installer has installed the scsi
module for the kernel and so the kernel has no scsi support in it. This results
in a booting kernel who is unable to mount the root (=scsi) partition, because
the scsi module is on the unreadable scsi drive.
giving root=/dev/sda1 doesn't work, that' s the reason for my
guess.
can anybody help? it is for an alpha station, so it is hard
for me to compile a new kernel on an intel processor.
thx
Pieter
