I have a Dell Optiplex SX280 with slackware 10.2 on it. During the install I had to use sata.i
I am trying to compile an alternate Kernel [2.6.15.4].
I have followed these instructions
http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...Slackware_10_1

and everything seems to go fine except when I try and boot it I get

VFS: Cannot open root device "302" or Unknown-Block (3,2)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option

I beleive I have configured/sompiled all the SATA options for this computer, however I appear to be missing something. Does anyone have any idea what I am missing?

Thanks for the help

All the needed files in the /boot ? I mean System.map, Config, vmlinuz + did you ran lilo ?

Yep, looks like you missed a SATA driver somewhere.

can you post your .config file??

Figa

check filesytem support(reiserfs, ext3)--->1st choice
check scsi parameters(most of the time this wil cause error)

check what is this but the problem may b filesytem support for the root also partitions support, try try when u resove problem please mention what was wrong
bol (best of luck)

If you set up your drives using the Reiserfs, you should be sure to compile the reiserfs option into the kernel. Slackware supports reiserfs as a module by default, and this requires that you set up a n initial ramsidk to allow the reiserfs partition to boot.

Makes much more sense to just include it in the kernel.

I am running 2.6.15.5 kernel on several of my systems with good results so far.
