Re: Kernel panic.. Can't mount root fs

[Edward A Martinez <martinez cs tamu edu>]

Hi Menion,
	This has happened on two different machines, a desktop and then a
Toshiba 105 CS laptop.  The laptop is a P-75 with a standard IDE/ESDI
disk controller.  I'm not sure what the IDE controller on the desktop is.
The CPU is 200-MMX, with the IDE interfaces mounted directly on the
motherboard.  I'm pretty sure I compiled in support for the IDE
controllers during make xconfig, but I suppose I could have left out the
chipset that my particular board uses.  I don't think I compiled in
support for the CMD-640. 

Thanks for the mail,

Eddie
