Hi, I'm trying to make Linux bootable from a scsi harddrive using NT bootloader. I'm reasonably used to lilo, though far from understanding all the intricacies of the process. I've also read the Linux+NT HOWTO and think I have followed it appropriately.
After choosing Linux from the NT boot menu, the kernel is found and hardware detection begins, but when it comes time to mount the / partition, I get the following panic message: --------------- Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount the root from 08:06 --------------- 08:06 is /dev/sda6 which is the root partition. I think it is not finding the drive, because during scsi detection, just before attempting to mount /, is the message "SCSI: 0 hosts detected total". I know the kernel is aware of the the drive though, because I can boot from a floppy no problem and mount all the necessary partitions from sda. Any ideas what might be the problem ? Thanks, Gerald
