My system has two onboard Adaptec SCSI controllers. I am booting using initrd, and passing the correct "root=" option. The following message pops up while trying to boot with 2.6.13: Loading scsi_mod.ko module Loading sd_mod.ko module Loading scsi_transport_spi.ko module SCSI subsystem initialized Loading aic7xxx.ko module Creating root device umount /sys failed: 16 Mounting root filesystem Mount: error 6 mounting ext3 Mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root switchroot: mount failed: 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! When I boot the default kernel supplied with RHEL 4, it boots successfully: Loading scsi_mod.ko module SCSI subsystem initialized Loading sd_mod.ko module Loading scsi_transport_spi.ko module Loading aic7xxx.ko module ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:05:09.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 201 ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:05:09.1[B] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36 aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs (scsi0:A:0): 160.000MB/s transfers (80.000MHz DT, offset 126, 16bit) Vendor: HITACHI Model: DK32CJ-18MW Rev: JTN1 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 scsi0:A:0:0: Tagged Queuing enabled.

I doubt if there is any option I need to enable in the kernel configuration?
