Hi all,
I've just finished LFS. However, I'm facing with the problem that I can't
boot into the LFS kernel.
It displays :
VFS: Cannot open root device "sdb1" or unkonwn-block(2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option;
....
Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block
(2-0).
I've already search this information in the internet but I can't find out
the answer for my issue. Someone tell the configuration is wrong in
grub.conf file.
I think i configure right in my grub.
Some information:

I install LFS on /dev/sdb1.
