kernel panic
I have an old HP NetServer E60 with SCSI: Adaptec aic7895 ultra scasi adapter and DEBIAN on board.
I was trying to move disk (/dev/sda) from that old HP to much more newer machine HP Proliabt ML 150 with SCSI Adaptec AIC 79xx PCI-X SCSI HBA DRIVER Rev.1.3.10. ...but when I connected it to the newer machine during booting I saw: Code:
VFS: Cannot open root device "802" or 08:02 Is that incompatibile SCSI controller or lack of driver/module inside kernel ? PS. here is /etc/fstab of it: Code:
/dev/sda2 / reiserfs defaults 0 0 that may be useful: Code:
# cat /etc/apt/sources.list |
As the error message says, append the proper "root=" argument when booting the kernel.
That means:
If you use lilo, it may be nontrivial to boot with an alternative root= parameter, so you may have to revert to your old configuration in order to boot. If my procedure doesn't work, describe why, and post the relevant config file. |
jonaskoelker,
please take a look at my 1st post where /etc/fstab is listed: Code:
/dev/sda2 / reiserfs defaults 0 Code:
# more /etc/lilo.conf When I put it to a new one ( NO changing configuration), then I see errors as I mention. This is SCSI drive so no reason for using /dev/hda1 as u sugested. It is alredy set as /dev/sda |
Your lilo.conf looks fine. That leaves me out of ideas. Sorry.
|
Lilo doesn't look that fine... The boot option refers to the disk, not a partition :p But I'm using Grub, no real experience with Lilo
|
Ok I figured out that issue.
The problem was with kernel that hasn't support other AIC SCSI controler. I have recompiled kernel adding Adaptec AIC79xx U320 support. And that's all. |
