I have a machine which has no IDE hard drives. It only has SCSI drives
hanging off a mylex raid controller. Mylex support doesn't seem to be
compiled into the standard kernel on the CD. On another machine I build a
2.2.16-storm kernel with mylex support compiled in.

I've had trouble using this kernel to perform the install. I made a boot
disk from /boot/ide1440.raw, replaced its kernel with my new one, reran
syslinux on the disk and tried booting off it. The kernel starts booting
up, going through all the device drivers, etc but I get a kernel
panic. Here are the last few lines of output:

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
autodetecting RAID arrays
autorun ...
... autorun DONE.
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00

I have ramdisk, loopback device, MINIX fs support compiled into the
kernel, but perhaps I'm missing something else I need?

Is there a way I can find out what needs to be compiled into this
kernel? Is there a simplier way to get Storm Linux installed on this
machine or am I going about it the right way?
