Upon reboot I receive the following - can't find my block device type error:
Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
Few things to look at
1.) What are the IBM drivers used for this card - do they recommend the
Megaraid drivers or 3rd party drivers ?
2.) Are you using a modular or monolithic kernel in terms of your
drivers for the disk controller and related components
3.) whats in the Debians initrd ? why would an initrd be needed if these
devices are supported by the kernel properly - is Debian even using
the initrd for the disk drivers and is this a red herring
4.) Check your grub options, make sure they are right, its easy to make
a mistake
5.) make sure you have the right filesystem support in your kernel.
