Cannot open root device?
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 !
