I'm using grub-static as my boot loader. My boot partition is /dev/sda1 and grub is installed to the MBR. I get to the grub prompt fine, but when the kernel starts, the error "kernel panic: could not read device /dev/sda1" followed by "please append correct root= option" and then "VFS: could not mount root fs".
My grub.conf file does append root=/dev/sda1 I've tried /dev/hda, /dev/sda, etc. etc. My root file system is XFS. I've checked it with xfs_check and it is intact. And yes, XFS is compiled into the kernel. Any ideas? -- Kyle S. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
