installed system would not start
Hello, I installed Crux on a VMware system.Did all the steps from the manual without any problem. So I rebooted and I see this message : lilo loading Crux Bios data check sucessfulKernel panic - not syncing VFS: Unable to mount rootfs on unknown block (0,8). The system is one partition of 8G ext4 in the kernel. Roelof

have you compiled your filesystem driver into the kernel (the are marked with [*] when the are compiled into the kernel) and set the right harddrive/root partition in your lilo.conf -- sincerely Christian Rauecker

Common issues are missing drivers to access your disk: common: DEVTMPFS=y DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y BLK_DEV_SD=y filesystem: EXT4_FS=y disk controller, on vmware probably: ATA_PIIX=y on physical hardware: SATA_AHCI=y -- Fredrik Rinnestam
Hello, I changed everything according to your suggestions but still the same error.Anyone a idea ? Roelof

Are you installing on esxi? Its quite possible that you are using a scsi controller if that is the case. When you boot the install media, run lspci -k to find out what drivers your hardware is using.
