It is a Compaq Proliant ML530 Dual PIII 1Ghz with a Gig of RAM. It has a Compaq smart array 5300 in it also. It boots just fine with the default Redhat 7 kernel 2.2.16smp but when I compiled my own 2.4.2 kernel I get the following message. request_module[scsi_host_adapter]: Root FS not mounted request_module[scsi_host_adapter]: Root FS not mounted Then some standard lines Then: NET 4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET 4.0 request_module[block-major-104]: Root FS not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device "6802" or 68:02 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root FS on 68:02 When I boot 2.2.16 the only modules that are loaded are cciss, NCR53C8XX, eepro100 and tlan. I have triple checked and I have built cciss and NCR53C8XX into the kernel, I even tried them as modules. It almost looks like it just isn't loading the NCR53C8XX and then it cant mount the File system. If you need any more info please let me know. Please CC anything to me directly since I am not on the mailing list. Thanks, Jeremy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
