I am trying to upgrade from a 2.6.11 genkernel to 2.6.13-r5 genkernel. |
2 |
However when booting, I get a message about root not being a valid root |
3 |
device and then a prompt to enter the correct one. |
4 |
|

I'm a noob at this so don't assume I've done the obvious. :) |

I've searched Google and it appears likely that my problem is that |
8 |
Advansys SCSI support is either not built into my kernel or is built as |
9 |
a module? In any event, I ran genkernel with the --menuconfig option to |
10 |
check it out. But I could not find Advansys support in the SCSI Low |
11 |
Level Drivers section. Searching on 'advansys' revealed this: |
12 |
|
13 |
Symbol: SCSI_ADVANSYS [=n] |
14 |
Prompt: AdvanSys SCSI support |
15 |
Defined at drivers/scsi/Kconfig:401 |
16 |
Depends on: (ISA || EISA || PCI) && SCSI && BROKEN |
17 |
Location: |
18 |
-> Device Drivers |
19 |
-> SCSI device support |
20 |
-> SCSI device support (SCSI [=y]) |
21 |
-> SCSI low-level drivers |
22 |
|
23 |
So why does this not show up in menuconfig and is there some way to turn |
24 |
this on? |

Thanks, |
