| |
I am using an AIC-7896 SCSI card in a VA Linux 2230. In a previous post, I had problems with getting the 6.2.4 driver from Justin Gibbs to work at all. Now that I have moved past that one, this one is a little more esoteric.
The 2.4.8+6.2.4 kernel is installed and configured correctly. The 6.2.4 driver is statically linked into the kernel and all SCSI information displays fine at system boot. However, I am getting the message:
"Unable to mount root fs on 08:05"
and associated panic at boot.
So, since I can see the driver, and the same driver is being used for the installation kernel image (same kernel release too), I can't come up with an explanation for the kernel's failure to find the root fs.
What can I do to troubleshoot this? What information would be helpful?
Thoughts/comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance!
