I try to solve my problem by changing the kernel of the netinst CD image
sarge-i386-netinst.iso.

I try to build the image with a kernel which will have been used to
compile the module of the 3Ware controller.

I mounted the image in a directory and to copy his contents in the
directory /tmp/cd

I compiled a new kernel 2.6.7 with the features (devfs, initrd, tmpfs,
ext2...) and with the command:
   make-kpkg --initrd --revision=nodens.1.0 kernel_image modules_image

I extracted from the package the kernel vmlinuz-2.6.7:
   dpkg -x kernel-image-2.6.7_nodens.1.0_i386.deb.

I have to copy the file vmlinuz-2.6.7 in the directory
/tmp/cd/install/2.6 in the place of the file vmlinuz

I have to recreate the ISO image and to record the CDROM :
mkisofs -o test.iso -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4
-boot-info-table -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat ./cd

I boot on the CDROM, and at the beginning of the procedure of
installation I chose linux26 or expert26

And I have this error message:

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Mounted devfs on /dev
VFS: Cannot open root device "rd/0" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)


Can you help me, please, I must install this server.

Regards.
