Re: Kernal Panic
It was the SCSI driver was missing. I was able to compile the kernel and thanks for everyones help. I may have a bug to report when compiling 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 kernels from there tar balls. When I use config or menuconfig and deselect smp since I only have one processor. I get the following error when applying the make dep option. cpu_data no value num_cpu_smp no value and it doesn't compile. Would someone no which c files I have to modify so that I can tell the kernel that I only have one Pentium III (700)? Thanks for your help again Dan Noah L.

You can't bring a 2.2.x config file forward. You will have to configure it by hand http://www.markybob.com used to have a pretty sane all purpose config file but it appears to not be there any more.

VFS: Cannot open root device 801 or 08:01 Please append a correct root= boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:01 This is way off-topic on debian-security, but: This suggests your new kernel is failing to find /dev/sda. Does the boot sequence mention anywhere that it's detected your SCSI interface (host adapter)? If not, do a make menuconfig and check the SCSI configuration to make sure support for your SCSI hardware is being compiled into the kernel (NOT as a module, since modules are not available till after the root fs is mounted). HTH, Zak.

They can't be modules. Modules must be read from the disk, but if the drivers needed to access the disk are modules, then you're stuck. Rebuild the kernel. Why did you post this to debian-security?
