root (hd0,1) #no problem. The file system is correctly identified
kernel /vmlinuz-ide-2.4.22 root=/dev/sda5 ro hdc=ide-scsi # no problem. the kernel is identified
boot # A problem: see below for error messages
kmod: failed to exec /wbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8, errno=2
VFS Cannot open root device "sda5" or 08:05
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 08:05
The Slackware boot disk I made during installation works perfectly and takes me to the Slackware CLI. The boot prompt states that root (/) will be /dev/sda5
Midnight commander identifies /boot as being on /dev/sda2 and / as being on /dev/sda5
On the same machine (with a swapout drive mounting Gentoo and LFS) I have no problem with this grub.conf:
title=Bob's Gentoo 1.4 (genkernel generated kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r8) root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/sda3 hdc=ide-scsi initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r8
title=Linux from Scratch (manual 2.4.22 kernel) root (hd0,3) kernel /boot/lfskernel root=/dev/sda4 ro
What can I do to fix Grub and Slackware?
Thanks.
