Kernel Panick: VFS: Unable to mount root.fs on 16:02
I got this message after recompiling my kernel and I cannot find out what
is causing it. I have a single computer that uses a dialup ppp connection
to the ISP.
Before the error message in the subject line there were two other error
lines:
request_module[block-major-22]: root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open device 16:02.
>From what I have read in
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.9/Documentation/nfsroot.txt it I understand
that the nfs-root system is used on a diskless computer that is part of a
network. But this did not help me to correct my error. I did not see
any such options in the configuration menu's of the kernel.
I would appreciate some help to understand and solve the problem.
Regards
Johann
