> file points root=/dev/sda which is the correct hard disk. are you _sure_ :-) correct me if I'm wrong. "root" points to the root (/) *partiton* on that hard disk not the drive it's self.. for example "root=/dev/sda1" which would actually be a partiton on the hard drive. check your /etc/fstab file. and see what it thinks the root partiton is look for a line like this: "/dev/sdb5 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1" and the "/dev/sdb5" will be your root partiton. or look in your /etc/lilo.conf and see how the other one works. > TCP: Hash tables configured(established 16384 bind 16384) > NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/smp for Linux NET4.0 > ds: no socket drivers loaded > request-module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted. > VFS: Cannot open root device "801" or 08:01 > Please append a correct "root=" boot option > Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01 don't remember how these ??:?? numbers go.
