Kernel Panic: won't mount root filesystem
I'm updating a RedHat 9 system with a 2.4.22 kernel (and some OpenMosix extensions!), but the silly thing won't load the root filesystem and instead I get a kernel panic. I can't figure out what's wrong because I seem to have compiled the kernel with everything it needs to start. Anyway, I get this info.....
ds: no socket drivers loaded !
VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
Now, I've compiled all the SCSI stuff into the kernel (essential since the machine is a server with only SCSI drives in it)
What annoys me is that the LABEL=/ and GRUB settings for the new kernel is the same as the old one - but for some reason LABEL=/ wont work.
Heck, even LABEL=/dev/sda1 doesn't work (and that's where the root filesystem is)
Any ideas?
