Basically, I installed 2.2.1 on a 486-DX100 on sd0, but when I boot I get the message "kernel panic... can not mount root on sd1"... Why would it look to sd1 for the root partition instead of sd0 ? Here are more details... 486-DX100, 32Meg RAM 2 drives... wd0 has a good version 2.1.7 on it which works VERY well!! I added an ASUS-875 SCSI controller (very NICE looking card BTW) and an old IBM 1gig SCSI drive on it. Ftp'd the boot disk, did a network install and all seemed to go well... everything ftp'd down, got to the "congratulations screen" and so on... But when I try and boot, everything works well until I get to the point where the system tries to mount sd1 for the root partition instead of sd0... Is there any easy way to fix this? I tried with the kernel.GENERIC as well, but the same problem... It still looks to sd1 for the root partition instead of sd0 where it was installed on... If I boot to 2.1.7 and manually mount the sd0 partitions, all seems fine... Thanks in advance, ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa (mike@sentex.net) * To do is to be -- Nietzsche Sentex Communications Corp, * To be is to do -- Sartre Cambridge, Ontario * Do be do be do -- Sinatra (http://www.sentex.net/~mdtancsa) *
