Very Computer

Hello list,

after upgrade to 2.2.19 on Suse-Linux firewall, I've following message
on booting: VFS: Unable to mount root fs 03:01

What can I do? The System.map file was already copied to /boot...

Thanx in advance.

Best regards.

Is this by any chance a scsi system? And have you compiled the scsi
drivers as modules?

K.

Doesn't really matter, it's (mostly) for debugging purposes, read "man
klogd", the
old kernel should just work.

Hello Ketil,

thanx for your answer.

NO. Its not a SCSI-system and scsi drivers are not compiled.
The system is Compaq Deskpro 2000 using  Pentium 133, 64 MB RAM and 1,2
GB HDD. The NICs are 3 3Com 3C900.

Best regards.

I will do it.

The old kernel works. A collegue told me, that 2.2.18 is buggy. Is it
really?

Best regards.

That does only matter, if the root filesystem gets mounted - it does not
have anything to do with your problem.

Did you include IDE support? IDE/ATA disk support? Did you accidentally
choose the 'old disk-only' driver (although I guess it should work
anyway). Did you compile in support for your root fs (ext2 I assume)?

No.

Yes.

That's strange. What is your root device? Is it hda1 or what. Try
booting the kernel (I assume lilo) with 'linux root=/dev/hd??' (without
quotes of course and your root device in place). Also check your
lilo.conf to check, that the root device is set to the same as the
2.2.17 kernel.
