Hi,

i got the kernel image but still struggling booting...

elilo.conf entry i set is

image=/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6.6.gz
	label=linux2.6.6
	root=/dev/sda3
	read-only

but when kernel being loaded, i got this error message...

VFS:Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a currect "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

(/dev/sda3 is mounted to / in the kernel 2.4)

the itanium 2 machine i'm using is hp zx6000

thank you very much!
