I upgraded from 6.2 last night to 7.0 using respin images. I have the boxed set but I used respin to have the latest. The upgrade went fine with no errors. However, when the system rebooted their is a failure. Hopefully the following messages are relevant : SCSI: 0 hosts SCSI: detected total ... VFS: cannot open root device 08:12 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:12 I don't understand how the new kernel can't find the SCSI controller, if that is actually the problem, when the upgrade program could. I have an Adaptec A2940U2W controller with an all SCSI system. I can boot using 'linux single' but the drive is mounted read only. I noticed that LILO has read only for both linux and linux-up. Relevant? I am in a bit of a hot spot here because the files for a church and another non-profit agency reside on the box. I do have a complete backup made with BRU. I can't boot with the old kernel (2.2.17) either. I will not review that problem for brevity unless requested.
