On a Compaq Proliant DL360, I can install Fedora Core 2 without a problem. However, on the first boot (and any subsequent boot), the kernel panics when trying to open the root device.
Basically, here's the output:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). Red Hat nash version 3.5.22 starting Mounted /proc filesystem Mounting sysfs Loading jbd.ko module Loading ext3.ko module Creating block devices VFS: Cannot open roo device "LABEL=/" or unknown block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
I suspect that the cpqarray driver is not loading. Is there a way in grub to instruct the kernel (or mod-utils) to load a specifc driver during boot?
could it be as simple as, you shouldn't try to mount the root filesystem by label, but by device name?
