Meaning modprobe isn't in your initial ramdisk. You're using an initial ramdisk, right, as your SCSI subsystem (scsi_mod) and your SCSI device drivers are all modular. > VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or 08:02 > Please append append correct "root=" boot option > Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02 which is expected, as you don't have any SCSI drivers loaded. Either use an initrd, or change all the CONFIG_SCSI* entries you care about to =y.
