Hi,
I am trying to build an LFS system as a guest on VMware workstation (version – 7.1.4). I am following the 6.8 version of the LFS book. All the packages mentioned in this book are successfully compiled and installed. However, after the first boot it gives the following error: Kernel panic – not syncing: VFS: Cannot open root device “sda3” or unknown-block(8,2) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: 1600 4194302 hdc driver: ide-cdrom 0800 8192 sda driver: sd I have searched the LFS FAQ and mailing list. This problem is same as the problem mentioned in the link http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-support/2010-April/038472.html The hard disk provided by VMware to the guest OS (LFS system) is of a SCSI type hard disk. I have formatted root partition with ext3 file system. So, I have compiled the kernel with ext2, ext3 fs, all SCSI, ATA and PATA driver. All the above drivers are compiled as a built in feature (not as a separate module). Please help me to fix it. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks and Regards, Subrata
