t= he google and the archive .
So I came here !

And my problem is th= at :
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 co= rrect "root=3D" boot option

But I have a line in my lilo.conf : root=3D/dev/sda3

I have = recompile the kernel for many times , but it panic everytime .

Thank= s in advance !

Best Regard !
