Hello. I recently recompiled my 2.6.8 kernel. Now I can no longer boot my system. It fails with the message "cannot open root device "801" or unknown-block(8,1)".
I am using a Symbios SCSI card without any IDE devices (save the CDROM) in my system. My lilo.conf properly identifies the boot device and root device ("boot=/dev/sda" and "root=/dev/sda1"). The SCSI drivers are compiled directly into the kernel, and the devices are all seen on bootup. My previous 2.6.8 kernel boots, but not this one. The only change I made was to enable HFS filesystem (so I can play with my new iPod). Any ideas? Please respond directly as I am not monitoring the list (but do, of course, CC: the list). Thank you. -- Eric N. Valor [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key 2048/1024 227B04CB Key Fingerprint = 766C CA15 0FFF E54B 2FEE C7D7 0F87 3AFB 227B 04CB : This Space Intentionally Left Blank :
