Hi,
I am trying to mount /dev/hda0 (the first partition on /dev/hda) as my
ext3 root filesystem during boot. Even though I can mount this
partition after boot and successfully see the files on it, (using
"mount -text3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/disk1" and hda1 with major 3, minor 1)
the same partition cannot be mounted as the root filesystem during
boot. I get the error:
VFS: Cannot open root device "0x301" or unknown-block(3,1)
VFS: Cannot open root device "0x301" or unknown-block(3,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on

In kernel bootargs, I tried root=/dev/hda0, /dev/hda1 and also
root=0x301 (major 3, minor 1) to mount it. It should have just worked.
Any idea why it doesn't?
It cannot load the ext3 unless it has driver for it, check if ext3
driver is inbuilt...
Thanks,
Bahadir
