Re: unable to boot 2.6.7 on sarge
I ran into this problem myself when compiling a custom kernel.
Let me take a stab that your root partition is on an IDE drive?
If that is the case you have to compile all of the IDE block device support into the kernel instead of as a module.
Don't have my kernel .config file handy so I can't remember the exact kernel option it is, but if you build all of the IDE stuff in and don't modularize it, this will be resolved.
I don't know why, but all of the IDE block device support is configured to compile as a module in the default kernel config.
Good luck,
Jordan.

Subject: unable to boot 2.6.7 on sarge
Hi, Not sure this qualifies as a
debian-testing issue but here goes. Installed
sarge from the latest netinstall iso. Machine is
supermicro u2 with adaptec 320 scsi card.
Boots ok. Now, compiled 2.6.7 to get smp but
the problem is after the initrd.img file loads
I get the message:
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root file system on unknown-block 0,0
My guess is there is something wrong with the way I created
the initrd.img. Used mkinitrd -k -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.7 -r /dev/sda2 2.6.7
The modules seem to be in the right place.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
