I am trying to upgrade from a 2.6.11 genkernel to 2.6.13-r5 genkernel.
However when booting, I get a message about root not being a valid root
device and then a prompt to enter the correct one.
I'm a noob at this so don't assume I've done the obvious. :)
I've searched Google and it appears likely that my problem is that
Advansys SCSI support is either not built into my kernel or is built as
a module? In any event, I ran genkernel with the --menuconfig option to
check it out. But I could not find Advansys support in the SCSI Low
Level Drivers section. Searching on 'advansys' revealed this:
Symbol: SCSI_ADVANSYS [=n]
Prompt: AdvanSys SCSI support
Defined at drivers/scsi/Kconfig:401
Depends on: (ISA || EISA || PCI) && SCSI && BROKEN
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> SCSI device support
-> SCSI device support (SCSI [=y])
-> SCSI low-level drivers
So why does this not show up in menuconfig and is there some way to turn
this on?
Thanks,
Drew
