Hello everybody : I know maybe my question is just a piece of cake for you , but I have struggled with it for 4 days , and I didn't get any answer from the google and the archive . So I came here ! And my problem is that : 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 correct "root=" boot option But I have a line in my lilo.conf : root=/dev/sda3 I have recompile the kernel for many times , but it panic everytime . Thanks in advance ! Best Regard ! - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
