[ILUG] Kernel panic

[Eamonn Shinners]

Hi guys,
	small / large problem. I've recompiled a kernel for a guy with a Dell 2450 
running RH6.2, kernel is 2.2.14. The box has 2 x 18.2Gb hard drives connected 
to an Adaptec AIC-7899 scsi card, and they are not mounted as a RAID set.
	As far as I know, the /boot and / dirs are both below the 1024 cylinder 
limit. When setup from the CD, it works fine, but with the recompiled kernel 
I get the following message at boot;

	Partition check:
	request_module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted
	VFS: Cannot open root device 08:06
	Kernel panic : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 08:06

I have compiled the aic-7xxx module, and done make modules, etc., etc.
The / is /dev/sda6, sorry, I can't remember the rest of the setup.

	Hope someone can help....
