Re: My kernel doesn't mount the boot-filesystem

Hi all,
I need your precious help. Four weeks ago I compiled a new kernel with
support for the parallel port of my sun ultra1. I want to use this
machine as a print server.
Since then I'm struggling with the kernel because it is not willing to
mount the /dev/sdb1-filesystem at boot-time (please see my logfile of
the boot process
http://www.tfh-berlin.de/~kappen/Linux/1_boot_2.4.27-frd1.1.lis )
I guess that this has to do with the scsi-modules sd_mod and sr_mod that
are expected to exist, but can't be loaded, because I compiled them into
the kernel ( please see my kernel config file
http://www.tfh-berlin.de/~kappen/Linux/4_config-2.4.27-frd1.1.lis ) .
I also built a kernel with sd_mod and sr_mod as modules, but this
doesn't work either.
I don't know what am I doing wrong and appreciate any help or advice.
In your boot log there is a line 'Mounted devfs on /dev', which indicates
that you have chosen to use devfs. As a result, all the device names are
different from what you expect. You have to either disable devfs or to
specify the device names in /etc/fstab in their devfs form, for example
/dev/sdb1 may be referred to in two ways:
/dev/discs/disc1/part1
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1
See the devfs faq at
http://www.tfh-berlin.de/~kappen/Linux/1_boot_2.4.27-frd1.1.lis
for more information.
