Hello,
I'm a linux newbie and Im running RH8.0. In an attempt to get my
digital camera working I have been trying to recompile the kernel with
various USB support modules. I have been following the instructions in
the Red Hat Customization Guide to the letter, but when I reboot with my
new kernel I get the following error...
VFS: cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00
please apend a correct "root=" boot option
kernel panic : VFS : unable to mount root fs on 00:00
Can anyone help me? I think it may have something to do with my
/etc/fstab file or /boot/grub/grub.conf, the contents of which follow:
/etc/fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0
/boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file

# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3
