Kernel panic using IBM serveraid 4L

[Almond Wong <almond asiaonline net>]

Hi all.

I just installing an IBM Netfinity 5500 with Serveraid 4L. I downloaded the 
driver from IBM and upgraded the 4L firmware to 4.50. The installation 
completed smoothly w/o error.

But upon rebooting, the following error messages appeared, and the machine 
is hanged up.

Kmod:failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8, errno = 2
VFS:Cannot open root device 08:01
Kernel panic:VF:Unable to mount root fs on 08:01

The machine has a build in Adaptec Ultra 160 and only connected with an 
external tape drive.

Please give me some hints or comment.

Have a nice weekend.


Best Regards,
