Markus, Thanks. My /etc/sysconfig/kernel file contains: INITRD_MODULES="processor thermal fan jdb ext3 ahci edd" It looks like what I need is there... ~/jc Markus Koßmann wrote:

Hi,
I tried to upgrade to 11.1 yesterday but I ended up with an unusable system.
At startup, after choosing OpenSUSE 11.1 in the GRUB boot menu I get the following error message:
------------------------------- VFS: Cannot open root device disk/by-id/ata-MAXTOR_STM3320620AS_6QF1LW22-part 4 or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) ------------------------------- [...] I ran out of options and I would appreciate some help. Thanks beforehand.
That looks like a missing driver module for the harddisk controler. Could you check /etc/sysconfig/kernel if the INITRD_MODULES entry in /etc/sysconfig/kernel includes the necessary modules. If not , you have to rebuild your initrd to include the missing modules.
