Just received a Dell PowerEdge 2600 (with no OS), and installed SuSE 8.1.
Installation seemed to go OK, but when asked to reboot, I hit a problem
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8, errno =2 VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or 08:03 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:03
OK, I am now up and running (not got much hair left <g>) This is what I did (not sure if the order is important.). - Changed bootloader from GRUB to lilo - Set "acpi=off" in my boot options - updated the megaraid module with the one from www.domsch.com/linux - changed the INITRD_MODULES line in /etc/sysconfig/kernel so that mptbase was before mptscsih Its easy once you know how <g> Phil -- Linux 2.4.4-4GB 5:12pm up 6 days, 23:01, 1 user, load average: 0.62, 0.17, 0.05
