I try to put to work the kernel-2.6.9 on my machine. I have a slackware current install and the following hardware. AMD Athlon 512MB RAM HPT 370 RAID controller and 2 HDD in RAID1 So when I start the kernel-ataraid-2.4.27 everything works OK. When I start the installed kernel-2.6.9 I get the following error message: VFS: Cannot openroot device "7203" or unknown-block(114,3) Please append a correct "root=" option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(114,3) On my lilo.conf is root=/dev/ataraid/d0p3 as this is the / partition. I tried to put the root=/dev/hde at the lilo prompt but no success. I tried many many forums but nobody was able to answer me. So my last sollution is you and I will very very apreciate it if you can give me some hints how to do it. I append you also a dmesg from the 2.4.27 kernel. Many thanks in advance for your help !!!
