Hi All, I am a Newbe. I tried to install CRUX 2.4 on my laptop. During installing and configuration, everything seemed to good. I was able to install the core system to my SATA harddisk, furthermore my other partitions were available as well. Though when I completed install procedure, I tried to boot CRUX from the harddisk, the boot process stopped with following messages: "VFS: Cannot open root device "sda6" or unknown block (0,0)" "Please append a correct "root=" boot option, here is the available partitioins: 1600 4194302 hdc driver: ide cdrom" "Kernel panic - not syncing: UFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)" I am sure my fstab and boot loader config file is correct. Could it be the problem that I did not use own lilo for CRUX in order to boot? I edited an existed grub menu.lst of another linux distro that runs on my laptop. Any help is appreciated, gellba

Hm, I don't know the error message, I think, you have installed grub into your mbr (other wise this "root=..." stuff wouldn't appear), if not, prt-get readme grub will help you. Afaik the grub shipped with the install iso will read it's configuration from /boot/grub/grub.conf (but this will change, if you update grub, and reinstall it in the mbr (see the previous grub email in this list)). Hope this helps. bye richi -- quoting guide: http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/documents/quotingguide.html
Also make sure the sata driver and file system type are compiled into the kernel (not modules). Joe

Since Jaeger gave me a talking to over the inaccuracy of the above statement, I'll point out that SCSI CD-Rom support, SCSI target support and SCSI Generic support are not "required" if all you want is the hard-disc. But SCSI CD-Rom support is required in order to utilise a CD-Rom drive, SCSI generic support is useful for card-readers and screwy CD burners and SCSI target support I forget at the moment. -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc
