Hi, my system has only two scsi disks. I installed M7.1 from CDROM. when after installation I tried to reboot, the kernel stops with a kernel panic: unable to mount root fs. somebody sugested it is maybe because i installed from (IDE)cdrom, and my root fs is on a scsi disk. During installation the scsi was recognized, resulting in using the scsi kernelmodules. Now at startup the modules are not loaded because therefor the rootfs must be mounted. Is this a reasonable explanation? If so, how can i make my system work?i.e. how can i compile my kernel so the scsi is in it, and not a module? (whitout being able to boot, i seems hard to me) the system is an alphastation, with digital alpha processor, 21164 chipset. thx Pieter
