| |
Hello
I tried to boot Linux 2.6.0 kernel with option root=/dev/sda1 using Grub. The kernel otherwise works, mounts the sda1 partition (XFS) OK. When I boot the kernel with root=/dev/sda1 instead of root=/dev/hda4, I get "can't mount root VFS, kernel panic" or something like that.
Is it possible to boot kernel with root from /dev/sda1 (USB)? partition table: whole /dev/sda is one partition (sda1), type 83 (Linux). Tried also switching on and off hotplugging in kernel and it didn't help.
