Hi,
Upgraded RH9.0 system running on VMWare and afterwards the following boot
problem:
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8, errno=2
VFS: Cannot opên root device "sda5" or 08:05
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:05
This happens when booting from hard drive or from boot diskette. I can
boot 'linux rescue' with no problem.
Looks to me like scsi module is not being loaded after install.
Would appreciate any ideas to get system running.
Thanks,
Boyd
