kernel panic after upgrading to 2.2.2 (on Tekram DC390F SCSI)

[Benjamin Han <dh6 acsu buffalo edu>]

Just went thru all the hassles of rebuilding my own 2.2.2 kernel. I
compiled in SCSI support and SCSI Disk Support, together with NCR53C7xx,
8xx SCSI Supprt, since my root fs is on an IBM SCSI drive.

After make dep; make zImage; make modules; make modules_install;
make_install, and remove the /lib/modules/preferred (pointed to
/lib/modules/2.0.36-3, which is for my old kernel), I run "depmod -a
2.2.2" and only get a list of "unresolved symbols:"

/lib/modules/2.2.2/fs/romfs.o: unresolved symbol(s)

Ignore these, I boldly rerun lilo, and reboot my machine, and have this
error:

request_module[block_major_8]: root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device 08:07
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:07

I tried "modprobe -c" after rebooting using my backup (2.0.36-3) kernel
and found that

...
alias block-major-8 sd_mod
alias block-major-11 sr_mod
...


But of course I don't have these modules -- I've compiled them into the
kernel (otherwise I could not successfully boot because all the module
files are on root fs).

For reference, I use Tekram DC390F SCSI adapter, with 2 IBM 4GB SCSI
drives and one Toshiba DVD ROM drive -- no other IDE devices.

Any suggestion is appreciated !!
