Hello, I have a machine (all SCSI, 1 GB Drive, 4 GB drive) and Debian 2.1r1 is installed on /dev/sda1 (1027 MB), mounting several other partiotions at boot time.
Since this machine is at a university, I do need to get my IP address (NE2K-PCI) via BOOTP. so i complied the kernel to my needs (BOOTP Support, NE2K-PCI..), and updated the MBR with LILO. Lilo boots fine, kernel sends bootp request, gets reply, and then hangs with the message: VFS Kernel Panic Cannot mount Root Device 08:01 . sda is at id3, sdb at id0, and cdrom at id6. Controller used is an Adaptec 2940 UW. I have no idea what would cause the problem (system runs fine with kernel 2.0.36) Ideas? Robert Ribnitz
