Hello,

I have a problem booting the kernel.
Now i am using kernel 2.4.20 and it is working nice but when I try to boot 2.5.xx I obtain this error:
VFS:cannot open root device "hdb5" or hdb5

After working on it, now I am sure that the problem is on the hard disk because I have an AWARD 4.51 and my hdb is an 60Gb disk so I use the STROKE from SEAGATE to use it.
I don`t have any problem on 2.x.xx but I cannot boot on it now.
I have booted the same kernel that displayed the error in other system and it booted perfectly, so the problem resides on the hdb.

I wish you could help me resolving it, maybe a patch for the drive...

I hope your answer.
Thank u

Guille

2.5.xx is quite old, use 2.6.0-testX (2.6.0-test6 is the latest/greatest).
