I hope you can shed a light to my problem. The server
works just fine with a single SCSI drive.
Unfortunately, when we add the 2nd SCSI drive, the
system does not boot.
VFS: Cannot open root dev "802" or 08:02
Please append correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02
We have tried all SCSI ID combinations with no
success. LILO 'append="root=/dev/sda2"' command line
does not work. 802 above is our /dev/sda2 root
partition. We thought Adaptec driver is reshuffling
the drives however 'AIC7XXX=no_reset' LILO command
line does not work either.
I would be forever grateful if someone can offer a
hand.
Many thanks in advance for taking your time.
Jimmy
PS: Sorry if it looks like a cross-post. Server is
running out of disk space and we need to get the 2nd
drive added to the system. My apologies.
Here is some diagnostic information:
P3 866 MHz, BX M/b, 512 MB Ram, 9.1 GB SCSI IBM hd.
(works fine)
2nd HD: Cheetah 15000 RPM 36 GB hd (gives problem when
added to the system)
