Dear members:

I am now trying to establish a linux cluster with 20 Dell precision
470 workstations(2Xeron3.6GHz CPU/1GB RAM/ Adaptec39320B HostRaid SCSI
36GB hdd). I choosed the OSCAR4.1 and RedHat EL AS3U3 distribution.

When the network installation finished and I rebooted my slave node,
the booting process stopped and reported the error message as
follows(the last few lines):

" 
   Loading ext3.o module
   Mounting /proc filesystem
   Creating block devices
   Kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8, errno=2
   VFS:Cannot open root device "806" or 08:06
   Please append a correct "root=" boot option
   Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:06
"

The boot loader installed by SystemImager is  LILO, the kernel is
2.4.21-20ELsmp(same to the master node).
After I booted up to the rescue mode with the RHEL AS3U3's boot CD,  I
 changed to directory /mnt/sysimage/etc/ and  opened the fstab file:
# cat  fstab
   /dev/sda6      /          ext3       defaults      1         2
  /dev/sda5     swap      swap     defaults      0          0
  /dev/sda1      /boot     ext3       defaults      1         2
  /dev/fd0        /mnt/floppy   auto        noauto,owner     0    0
  none           /dev/pts         devpts      defaults
  none           /proc       proc       defaults       0          0
  nfs_oscar:/home    /home    nfs        rw       0           0
 
Is there any suggestion on how to fix this problem ?  
Any suggestion will be appreciated.


Best Regards
Kevin Zeng
