Do you have the correct SCSI driver compiled into your kernel? A friend
of mine had a similar problem and that was the solution (he thought the 
card was one thing but it was another).

But the driver for my Hard disk is not there in the list, mine is FUJISTU disk
.I think Generic scsi driver will work

Thanks

Not the hard disk, the SCSI card...

Your scsi driver could be compiled into as a module. "mkinitrd" to boot off
a scsi root disk and update lilo info.
Another quick solution would be to compile the scsi driver into the kernel.

That problem solved by compiling the correct SCSI driver into the kernel. Now it
is the problem with input console. It says Unable to open Input console. This is
after mounting VFS.

Same thing ... you haven't compiled in a console driver.

I guess it would be good if you assumed for a while that
all errors you get are forgotten drivers, at least until
you get your system fully booted ;)
