Hi P,
Thanks for the reply.
Interesting. I hadn't experienced this prior to trying RH EL30.
This may not be the forum for this question, however, I always felt that grub was the boot loader of choice. Are there advantages to using lilo?
Thanks,
-John

Hi John,
I had the exact same problems. Grub works sometimes. Lilo works every time. Switch to lilo and your problems go away.

Subject: [Sisuite-users] Problem booting Dell 2650 w/ RHEL30 after installation
Hi,
I've successfully done several installs of RH9 and AS2.1 using systemimager to a Dell 2650. I'm now attempting to use systemimager to install RedHat EL 3.0 onto the 2650. It installs fine with no errors, however, fails to boot with the following error:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at bolck 0
crc error<6>Freeing initrd Memory: 317k freed
VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 00:00
I'm using grub as the boot loader and have tried several different options for the root device, including using the physical location "/dev/sda1" with no luck. I've tried a couple of different 2650s and still no luck.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Has anyone else run into this using systemimager?
Thanks,
-John
