I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about this.
I've searched google, and found several others with
the same problem, but haven't found a solution.
I'm running Debian unstable with ReiserFS. After
installing kernel 2.6.6 ('apt-get install
kernel-image-2.6.6-powerpc'), I get errors while
booting:
VFS: Cannot open root device "Label=/" [note: I've
tried several things in yaboot.conf] or unknown block
(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option.
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown block (0,0)
You _can not_ mount by label from the kernel. You have to use an initrd
to do that. I'm guessing you have your own local-built kernel with no
initrd. Sorry, but that just won't work without an initrd...
