Firstly, you should put root=<root device> and not root=<boot device>. Secondly, it sounds like the kernel cannot find your scsi device (assuming you do have scsi) so you probably don't have the correct driver compiled into the kernel. Thirdly, if XFS was a problem the kernel would tell you that. Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
