Subject: UNABLE TO BOOT WITH 2nd SCSI DRIVE
> Hello,

> 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.
