Built an image of a 2.4.1 with DAC960/DAC1100 "compiled in" and copied it over vmlinuz on a Red Hat 7 boot diskette (boot.img). I entered this at the boot prompt boot: linux root=/dev/rd/c0d0 DAC960 appears to detect correctly the volume [...] Kernel panic: I have no root and I want to scream [...] DAC960#0: Logical Drive 0 (/dev/rd/c0d0) Found DAC960#0: Logical Drive 0 (/dev/rd/c0d0) Online It seems the kernel wants a root before it becomes Online.
