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.

"root" points to the root (/) *partiton* on that hard disk not the drive it's self.. for example "root=/dev/sda1" which would actually be a partiton on the hard drive. check your /etc/fstab file. and see what it thinks the root partiton is look for a line like this: "/dev/sdb5 / ext2defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1" and the "/dev/sdb5" will be your root partiton. or look in your /etc/lilo.conf and see how the other one works. > TCP: Hash tables configured(established 16384 bind 16384) > NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/smp for Linux NET4.0 > ds: no socket drivers loaded > request-module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted. > 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 don't remember how these ??:?? numbers go.

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?

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.

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).
