So I came here ! And my problem is that : I use VMware , and install gentoo linux on the vm which hold a scsi disk . I compile the linux kernel with scsi support in the kernel self , but when boot up the kernel panic with the bellow message : VFS: Cannot open root device "803" or unkonw-block(8,3) Please append a correct "root=" boot option But I have a line in my lilo.conf : root=/dev/sda3 I have recompile the kernel for many times , but it panic everytime . Thanks in advance ! Best Regard ! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
